Hell on Earth

A stark short poem capturing the horror of watching fire and devastation unfold from afar.


a fiery night sky again,
and fire wreaking devastation below.
tens of thousands evacuated.
some said they wasn’t leaving.
now dozens upon dozens missing,
it looks apocalyptic on the television.
here, is another place.
