Analysis of Fire
Climbing over soaring birds.
Exultant views I see and words.
But now I feel a raging fire.
It smells like a burning fire.
I climb the fire truck ladder.
I hear screams then feel sadder.
I reach out to help
And I see a burning woman's scalp.
The fire hose saved her
And everything's a blur.
We climbed down the ladder.
Now I'm not sadder.
