" Smoke and Haze "...

" Smoke and Haze "

Smoke and haze
headlights blazing
sobering
glowing red coals

giving up control
racing up slopes
unsteady drones
coming and going
faster and slower

smoldering
burrowing
gurglings
hissings

sprinklings
splatterings
stirring of ashes
spring plantings
sinking back

buckets in hand
on human scales
of biomasses
pace and gallop
places of absence

in between rounds
deep-seated valleys
wavering candles

migratory animals
hoofs and tracks
blankets of ash
gravel and sand...
