Happy little trees
Day 12
Iridescent red sheening clouds
Murky smoke smothering white vapor
The wall of colors waiver
Wind mixing fire and air
Far away I can see the landscape changing
The green and browns become scorch
Paths walked in a cool spring morning
Flames
Dancing beneath
Crimson summer sun
I ended up taking a day off yesterday. Had that moment. In the morning. Where I looked up at the ceiling and was .. not .. having it.
I had thought about writing. But nah, ended up working on the yard.
Being inside, almost exclusively, I hadn't realized. Just how smokey it has gotten in the mountains. It reminded me of fires in the mid 2000's. When my wife's family had been evacuated and they had come to my beach rental.
When I had woken up ( and snuck around all the fam ), ash was falling. The sunrise had a brilliant scarlet sun. It was surreal.
Sitting with coffee. Smoking a cig. Watching the world burn.
