Fire in Ukraine
Fire in Ukraine by Dave Wright A forest fire sweeps through the valley Searing the sturdy Incinerating the vulnerable. In its wake: Skeletons of the elderly Cinders of the weak Ashes of the dead. In the distance a mighty mountain weeps, Its tears unable to extinguish the inferno. Deep beneath its crust A tempest of molten rock— Roiling, boiling, yearning To release a violent destruction. A tremor. A fissure. A thoughtless miscalculation…A solution? No. Not now. Not ever. Who would witness the recovery?
