The haunting, terrified yelps
and screeches of fearfully
bewildered wildlife as the
flames of the unstoppably
voracious inferno draw
closer, sped by the shifting wind;
the heat of the wildfire
expediting the wind, the
increased velocity crazing
the flames to leap impossible
distances, sparking ever
new outbreaks, imperilling
then incinerating all that
stand immobile with fear
or rooted to the ground.
They do not live to witness
another day, beyond char.
