Texas fires

I cannot say enough
about
the fires in Texas
and how those
who can
should fight them
toward containment
and cessation
and then
the multifarious care
of victims

and how
those of us who can
as in fight fires
go there
and those of us who can’t
remain behind
to offer aid
and give it from
where we
might be

it’s fire
folks
and politics aside
it is a horror
a series of horrors
from what burns
and who’s caught
in the way

can't say enough
because it's time to act
