fallout

There are wildfires in Canada. And though they are thousands of miles from the Blue Ridge Mountain foothills where I live, the hazy air tastes of ash and sulfur. We are eerily connected by the very air that we breathe. Our man-made boundaries rendered meaningless by our mother the earth.

fallout

smoke settles in the hollows
mutes the blue in ruddy haze
breaching vain borders
we breathe the same air

I’m in Atlanta, Georgia down south and we had smog last evening due to the smokes carried all the way across states. Nature can be so much more powerful than anything manmade.
