Adela May Be Burning

Soon. At last report, the fire
Owns the rest of the mountain,
Starting just across the road,

And it will never be the same
Even if a green island,
Reversed cordon sanitaire,

Is saved. More and more,
The world is the quarantine,
And the pockets that are homes

In your hearts are confined
To keep the uninfected
By disaster, yet, inside.
