The Smoke, the Flame, by Shelley Wagner

The Smoke, the Flame

 

The wind blew a firestorm

Into my house, into my neighbor’s house.

It left through the pine trees

Dared to return, to burn, to creep

 

Into my house, my neighbor’s house.

The smoke, the flame

Dared to return, to burn, to creep

Across virgin ground

 

The smoke, the flame

It left through the pine trees

Across virgin ground

The wind blew a firestorm
