Day , night and daybreak

 Daytime it rained fire 

Flames from the skies 

The winds fan fare 

Cooled down the nares 

Somewhat . No ice either.


At night , the troubled heart 

Of the earth , searing heat 

Glowering , glowed red hot 

Bosom on fire, hairs singed 


Crackles of flame 

Tongues of fame 

Licked the skies dark black

Here, taste it right back


Your raging fire burns 

In my own bones 

Earth crackles , churns 

Heartless cackles 


Barks fly , spitting cinders 

Splitting timbers 

Sending shivers 

Mayhem , crazy , no binders 


By morning , the hearth 

Has cooled , 

Wounds healed 

 Nourishment cooked 


What tumultuous waste , Ash , debris 

What fantastic foliage , birds , hubris 

Sun shines brightly on the same land 

And earth, black ,smiles sleepy lidded
