The World Ablaze

Laying low
keeping cool
as fires swept the landscape

my new city ablaze
smoke like familiar smog
unfamiliar to my new community

ten days later
perfect rain falls
and the fire comes under control

it burns still
consuming the trees
in between the fire lines

laying low
keeping cool
not much to do
but stay out of the way
