Swiftly jumping
from leaf to leaf--
       scorching--
      everything is ash!

Searing, heavy breath hot
sweat pours from hair down the back
to escape the heat
smoke chokes the lungs...


Dark cloud for the world
to see the charred destruction

Excruciating
burns. Torturously slow...
Flesh boiling, melting
pain scabbing stabbing every nerve
survivors see scars as a reminder.
