California on Fire



spectacular and deadly beauty
your black plumes rush skyward, the heat
burning my eyes, fire jumping from tree to
tree, across ditches, scorched earth.
spectactular and deadly beauty,
our tears 
hot on our cheeks, our houses
burn to the ground in
front of our 
broken staring
eyes.
