I step outside
to the immediate strong smell of smoke
but none to see.
Clear blue skies in every direction
are interrupted
by the tops of hills and mountains.
The quiet street
is undisturbed.
When I step back inside the smell is gone.
(I could get in my car and go hunting
but there's coffee here
and a book to read.)
I like this very much. Why go searching for possible fires when you have plenty of warmth and comfort right where you are.
