For two days and two nights 
The wolves of the sky 
Chased the sheep clouds 
Ferociously howling and pouncing 
Tearing apart 
Every thing that stood in their path 
Their pressure bending the silver poplars
Long branches reaching 
All the way down to the ground


Then 
A malicious spark 
Carelessly flung by a madman’s hand
Into their throats 
Whipped up a firestorm 
Turned even the rocks into ash 
Melted the roads 


The wolves went on howling 
Until sunrise 
The whole island felt seasick
Destabilized 
Embers danced wildly 
Neath the trembling stars
Frightening power 
Descends from the skies


Stripping the mountains nude of their clouds 
The winds of northwest screamed and scowled 
Strange things are happening 
Nowadays here 
The power of winter 
At the apex of heat
