Bushfire in Africa
Bushfire in Africa

Clearance ahead of the fire,
an empty space to thwart the flames,
if sweating in the heat
and branches torn off bushes beat,
nor blackened hands and faces,
wearied arms and backs,
fail to hold assault -
firebreak draws the line.


Line count: 8
Free verse
For Express It In Eight, 09.28.22
Prompt: Clearance.
