JULY FIRE

You do not know

why burned trees

seem decadent to your senses

why you want the clamoring

wind with its

thick

strong smoke

to linger

longer

why inhaling it

brings back

staggeringly familiar

recollections of

an old home

you smile as you

look at the

luminous sky

thinking vividly

of women burning

trees while

half-naked men

with golden thighs

watch

sucking deeply

the strong

thick

smoke from that

huge July fire.
