downwind of the Lake Fire



Bound by smoke by wind I escape
The cloud when it blows high
To pass over me then go by

The sun eclipsed I wait
A shifting lifting wind of fate

Under its shadow when
Round the tops of the hills by then
I see the sky again

A fire-escape from the firescape
A ladder in the sky

In my day we had the skyhook. But a ladder will do. When the fire comes, we all have to get the hell out of there.

Kool write Steven
The fire escapes of my youth
In the multiple dwelling of time past
Which I no longer wish to embrace
Served several purposes escaping from fires if need be
Sit out side and watch the goings on of ghetto life
And to sleep upon on dog day night heat " it was safe then"
Believe it or not, thank for you for posting this piece
Peace be with you

William
