December 6th, 2020Local Lines – hell, fire
Bill Wootton lives and writes poetry in Hepburn Springs and is endlessly appreciative of the sterling work of local CFA and other fire management groups.
how much is it the fear
of the bright suddenness
how much the heat
the crazed path
or the threat
when the smoke clears
of the powdered quotient
the nothingness
that remains
in the ashes of effort
