Anne is heading to
North Island. She carries our
thoughts, prayers and love.
Drought parched hillsides. Drenched
rivers nibble collapsing
roads. Some thirst. Some drown.
A walk uphill at
4am to say goodbye
to the neighborhood.
California burns.
Your life separate from us?
Now just smoke and ash.
Spring Valley is bone
dry. Here in New York skies rain
tears of compassion.
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.
Her view from the hill
– once so fine in good weather –
just blackened landscapes.
Anne emails to say
smoke plumes rise like shrouds of loss.
Below, hell ablaze.
