San Diego fire 5 – Family back east
California burns.
Your life separate from us?
Now just smoke and ash.

We visited once.
Soaked in your hot tub under
the lemon tree’s shade.
San Diego fire 3
Spring Valley is bone
dry. Here in New York skies rain
tears of compassion.
Left behind
What’s necessary?
The triage of memory.
A pyre to the past.

Photos first, then the
baby albums. Love letters.
We can buy new clothes.

San Diego fire
Anne emails to say

Below, hell ablaze.
