Up In Smoke

Up in Smoke

On and on wherever you look

as turning around and around

in green that feeds the world

in fields that fill the earth 

from beneath your feet

to the horizon’s distance

now threatened by wind

and heat and lightning

sparks that in hours

can devour the sustenance

on which we depend

though deniers upend

the needed changes

for rearranging

our ways so our earth

from the warming

and unstoppable wildfires

sear the fields in fire:

life and livelihoods up in smoke.
