I erupt.
A volcano
of toxic
black smoke
hidden within
rises up,
disperses,
clears pent-up
fires. My body
is now pure
water, stamping
out scorching
flames, soothing
forests, that they
may grow green
and glorious again.

That’s what the forest freaks and the naturalists say. Mostly though, they talk of controlled burns. I agree it is nature’s way, humans cannot cope with Mom Nature when she gets rough.
