Burning

Gasoline coated bark

Dry and dusty

Waiting for a spark

To go up

Up in flames

Red and orange and yellow

Sometimes blue and white

Heat greater than summer and an icy cold hot that breaks your bones

And melts your skin

And eats up fields as though it's never before eaten

Living with an internal hunger only to be fufilled by 

Engulfing forests

People

Animals

All that gets in it's way

All that stops it's distraction

Hot and quick
