since wildfires are so fearsome,
yet we find connection spreading,
often along unexpected lines,
and one or another thing
can be what calls us all together
A small all, perhaps, at first,
but enough to make a we,
and we are powerful,
however few we seem to be -
the courage of the plural
overcoming isolation -
our first necessary taste
of being free.
