Fire Light

Ngaio Dann —

Infernos blazing deathly bright

Fire crews battling late into the night

Monsoon buckets taking flight

An inferno in full fight

Flames licking up the walls of a building that once stood tall

A land mauled by a force more deadly than all

As fiery spears of charred pine

Pierce the smoke swirled sky.
