RAIN SLOWS FIRE OVER YOSEMITE

RAIN SLOWS FIRE OVER YOSEMITE

I am drawing a picture

blue strips of sky scribble in some smoke

I am drawing a picture

around the color of smoke

 

a shadow of blue

hand drawing around the rain

please the rain

(not my picture)

please the rain

rain rain rain

slows fire over Yosemite

I found this poem today, back then to the great power of losing family to distance, to ignorance and to fire.  Then and most of all now, to the power we have to call for rain.
