5/10/07:
Faces in the flames
rising as the smoke rises.
Visions, memories …
12/10/07:
October gets loud.
Earth movers outside all day,
and nights of thunder.
14/10/07:
The earth our mother
will survive us delinquents,
but will we survive?
18/10/07:
In the quiet night
the lights and the fading drone
of one car passing.
26/10/07:
Here, clouds and lightning,
the gush of baptismal rain
sudden, swift and soft.
From across the world
mountains of fast-moving flame
shock our TV screens.
