Mountain on fire 1: Dean Traylor
I.
Hot winds from the east
fan the December fires.
Winter or Summer?
II.
White flakes cast about,
like snow, ashes cover hills.
Autumn or Winter?
III.
The Santa Ana’s
helps spread the fire blossoms.
It’s winter or Spring?
IV.
The parched grassy hills
Becomes a barren, scorched mound.
It’s Spring or Summer?
V.
Only dates reveal.
That winter is to be here.
Yet, fires burn near.
