Wildfire
thick smoke covers all the cries and lamentations.
we are one and yet separated, two yet connected.
lost in translation.
trees that were once our homes, have lost that familiar embrace.
broken chirps and barks filtering through mist and ache,
for others colors fade, smoke swallowing it all.
