Shout to keep
from crying, smoke
gets in your eyes
and nose and throat
you pack the ute
and drive through
one spectacle of war
a battlefield of crimes
curse the fire, curse
the matted undergrowth
the obtuse politicians
on TV and radio–
accelerate past
another smoking ruin
growing darker, turn
on your lights, get to
the little city by noon.
