Fire!


Fire!
Sirens blasting, the roar of firetrucks,
police cars, unmarked vans and cars
all rushing towards the mountain
in the distance, I could see small orange
specks moving along the perimeter
our brave men and women who take on
the heat and flames of fire.
I watch from a safe distance, my heart
beating for all those who flee, whose homes
are burned to the ground, the 
deer and cougar, the birds, the small ground
animals, I curse those who started this
human caused fire.
Fire!
