Fire

The fire

burn the furn
the forest is on fire
light eyes
sparkle in cloven escarpment
drizzle the muzzle around the bear
h’s so aware
tear the trees
in the east
feast
the birds screeching clawing
gnawing at the spectacular horizon
torching the ghostly night
awakened with fright
my sight becomes shady
awareness from an old lady
the herds of deer sear northwards
where they are safe from the furnace
the flowers lay shrilled from smoke
and churning logs burning the escarpment
scattered with matter
litter so bitter
plunder the mosses
roses wonder if they will survive
depth of cracks getting bigger
the ground rumbles from the weather
birds of a feather little creatures try and escape the hurt
rabbits dig holes to try and escape the carnage
capped and so slender the adder tries to go wherever
butter Mellon caps the traps of spiders
there wings entangled
starlight stargazer left by the stranger
danger the word from a stranger
gets stranger and stranger and louder
the bolts of crackers let out big laughter
the days go by with giving flowers to the dead years after
