Inferno
Patagonian collection
Voracious walls of weaving flames
swallow coniferous forests.
Fireballs arching over brooks and waterfalls
ignite woodsheds, barns, homes.
Goats agonize in russet glades,
their coats burning bright under orange heights.
Darting flares trigger new conflagrations,
whistling through brittle undergrowth
cowed by enduring drought.
Condors swoop beyond towers of smoke,
gauging nature’s insatiable guts.
Hydroplanes hover above holocaust,
resembling paper projectiles
flung by fools.
Midget mortals defying the inferno
flee from their trenches.
Goliath gobbles buttress and bulwark,
sandbanks and hoses,
bolts over white-belted roads,
ultimately succumbing to Patagonian
chain of glacier lakes.
A colossus has drowned but will be reborn
in time’s infinite flow.
Moon sheds serpentine rays
on leagues of smoldering Andean slopes.
A child cries.
Its mother prostrates herself
on warm cinders of her home.
I peregrinate in frenzied silence,
a bulk of pungent pine cones
coddled in my hapless hands.
A tossed cigarette butt…?
