waiting for the clearing


the day is dark with clouds of smoke
it's fire season again
when ashes fly into the sky
into the atmosphere
I stay inside my apartment
out of reach of the wind
and wait for rain to fall
and make the mornings clear

but there's no rain coming
everything is dry
only soot and dried ashes
color the sky
and I, like you,
am waiting for the clearing
