I remember seeing it from the sky.
Fire on the stove.
My little sister sitting underneath.
My mother screaming.
My step father, not there.
Fire on the stove.
My little sister sitting underneath.
My mother screaming.
My step father, not there.
I’m at the backdoor watching two men run in.
They are our neighbors,
Refusing to stop,
Bringing in jugs of water.
They are our neighbors,
Refusing to stop,
Bringing in jugs of water.
My mother cries and hugs my sister.
I am in the air.
The fire trucks arrive and everyone is relieved.
I saw them coming from my seat up high.
I knew it was going to be fine.
The breeze was very soft.
