End / Beginnings : Fireweed
inspired by Study (Fireweed 2), Julia Schwadron Marianelli
After the fire swept through
making of forest a waste of ash and char,
after a winter of wind and rains
eroding slopes burned down to mineral soil,
ash-white seed-fluff borne on breeze
till on moonscape flickers a rose-flame glow –
and we’ll come as strangers
where fireweed makes of devastation a home.
