decide climb watchtower , look.
drive inferno blazed
of last summer. fires took
ground wild burros grazed;
ashed sky, never blue.

of broken pieces in heap,
white painted wood , brick
parts not fit keep;

of beer cans , broken glass;
felt resolve harden.
ash whispered of summers on fire.

horizons thickly hazed
there no color smog
fumes , smoke , dirt , dreams,
repulsed sneer @ beaten dog,
soundless dead doll screams.
tower has been razed.
