Aftermath

Fireweed spears

flesh pink as toddler cheeks

Scattershot steeples 

amidst blackened blisters

of bark and bones

where pitchforks of hellfire

tongued trees

licked limbs

gorged on wild hearts and sleeping souls

ravaging millenia of life

slash and burn of nurture

Fireweed spears

cradle pink 

flames  of fragile hope
