fire is an event
not a thing
a tree cut down
sunlight going out
in twisted flames
sparks gushing up
some see agony
others enjoy
only on earth
where there is
enough oxygen
everything can burn
here london
chicago warsaw
russia berlin
infirm people
villages cars
neighborhoods
rivers
a heap of old
newspapers could
burst into flame
or magazines
or compost heaps
or all your culture
stripped to black ash
in every nook
and cranny
fire is an event
not a thing
