Northern California heat wave
Northern California heat wave
Mid-March, extended 85
hurried the daffodils’ demise
harlequin flower, full bloom
at Winter’s tail end
Will the hills brown now
instead of mid-May?
Fire season’s 2 month
extension biblical.
What will the unfolding
bring charred homes
shattered lives
ever-present fear
creatures, their terror
This we have wrought
This is on us
