The road barely visible
A distant line
Traces
Across forested base
Of colossal rock bulk
Grey pillars rise
In blue haze
At distance
Against air – scented
Herb disturbed under foot
To the forest of crosses
Charred bark
Blackened rock
Evidence
Flames licked the ground
Leapt shrub to tree
The pine
Afire
Wild
Caught all unable to leave
