Laid out plans:
“Wildfires Don’t Care”
all that has happened
taken to task
rebuilt from scratch
all via Instagram
as thick smoke hangs
in the air with little chance
while poking everywhere
wearing white hazmat
suits and red hard hats
black hearses traveling
hazard lights flashing
continuing to battle
evaluating fragments
dogs sniffing for cadavers
grim forensic tasks
retrieving teeth in ashes
broken glass construction nails
surviving signs tacked to damaged
trees reading, “Chidren playing, be careful “ ...
