i woke this morn
To smoke all around me
I looked out my window
And saw the mists of summer
Surrounding me
Surrounding these mountains
I think
Of the people
Whose lives
Have been changed
Destroyed by the fires

Fire
The destructive force
That burns
And heats
And creates Change

I am burning too
Burning away lost dreams and illusions
To cinders
To dust
I know in time
I will regrow
So
I allow myself
To seethe
Burning away
To nothing
Noone
To begin again
To regrow
To evolve
To be the woman i know
To be within

MY body is changing
The fat is slowly burning away
As i keep focused
AS i meditate
On the real me
Emerge
Please
I want you to

Missing the comfort
Of your arms around me
Missing the feeling
Of your penis inside me
Your teeth
Biting into my neck
And your tongue
Between my folds
Missing the power
Of the many orgasms
You gave me
And i gave you

And
I remember
The fire licking my skin
Searing my witch flesh
To bone
From bone
To ash
As i screamed
All the way
To hell

I feel the burning
Within me
On this day
AS the fires spread
Across our state
Across our lands

The change
Climate change

We are living
Through
A catalytic time
When our consciousness
Is transformed
From that of selfishness
To community
A community
That too
Is changing
Burning
Transmutating

Smokey morning
Reminds me
That
All things
Must
Eventually
Die
And be
Reborn
To begin
Again
Ahhhh
There is hope for me yet...
