Devil Breeze

Of my lifetime home, Los Angeles, I now reminisce, and think how you, devil breeze, caused a thing like this. All the neighborhoods I've lived, their plight is now dire. I don't think I can forgive you for all these fires.

So sad and heartbreaking that five people have died so far! I didn’t know you are from California.

Yes, it's sad. I'm lucky. A few years ago, I moved a short distance away where I am safe, but some of my friends, not so fortunate. My heart goes out to the folks in those neighborhoods, and sorry to see familiar landmarks disappear.
