bushfire
ash in your mouth
the ground scorched
small creatures dying
the scent of smoke
the fence on fire
your eyes are closed
smarting
everything
in the house is burning
A three in one poem
run your mouse over the poem and click to show and hide second poem. To be read down and across.

BURNING

striking a match
slamming the door
shouting insults
slapping the child
ignoring
neglecting
pretending
your wounds are
everything
all your world
