Mordor!
I had important business
and went out without
finding first a breathing mask
Yikes!
a word I use more and more these days
also like,
Wow
Tuesday night
the siege of smoke under way
those orange clouds
composed of choking smoke
White towel
turning yellow-orange
in the frightening light
Alien sunlight
Difficult to capture
how orange
and dire the light was
the sky clouded with smoke
Silver turns
red gold
Frantic radio broadcasts
advise staying indoors
with the windows shut,
update the devastation
in Santa Rosa in Calistoga
the grim predictions
stricken voices of evacuees
Redrum
Redder and redder
The Inferno
of everyday life
Darkness fell on the State
more warnings of wind
all-pervading smoke hung on
like a disturbing dream
of losing hope
Groundhog Day
EPA chief declares
the war on coal is over
10-11 October 2017
