Smoke from Canadian fires
apricot the morning light.Asthmatics hope for a wash
of rain or muscled breezes
off the Pacific. August
in the northern half
of our planetary melon
has ritualized fire--
images of charred houses,
cars, schools, towns,
and mountains stomp
steadily into media's flow.
I don't know, I don't know
what to to--what can I do
amdist this burning?
