We inhale
The remains
Of Paradise
We exhale
Raspy prayers
For rain
(Our eyes water
But not enough
To put out this fire)

You're welcome and I'm glad you connected with it. There is a well of sadness and helplessness to draw upon right now, and I'm thankful that I was at least able to put a little of it into words.

Hey! That's great Kumar!
I really like the way the body functions coincide with the pain and sorrow of the fires.
Excellent writing, my man, can feel the breathing and the tears.

Thanks Matthew. My body wanted to write this one for days before I realized it.

The sadness is so simply conveyed here, I really feel it. Hope you & yours are ok.

We were starting to get sick from the smoke but I just installed two DIY high quality air purifiers in our home and we've been using the N95 masks and we are doing better. Thank you.
