FIRE
Fire, white, yellow, red
Flaming hair spread along
The startling beams shot
From roof to wall
To bed.
Flaming city blocks on
Fire doused, fanned, across cloudy
Skies ignites tinder
Atop tall trees windows
Explode implode flames dance
Higher.
Shattered glass melted
Tar sunken rubber soled
Tyres tread, spark and coal
Choke on black smoke smouldering
Through spongy internals
Unprotected.
One hundred foot spires
Signalling an end
To life.
