The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Ash

Bleeding,
a gushing river, 
the grey of ash,
has stopped the heart of the land. 
Our weekend mountain hikes frozen,
into a memory of California dreaming......
now our masks filter
the stench of burnt plastic bottles
that replace the sun danced flowers of spring,
as we await the rebirth 
with a pounding raindance.
