Koala bushfire poem

Running, dodging burning fire
How water is my one desire
My throat hurts and my legs are burnt
Don't want to get lost in a flaming current
I look up all I can see is the grey sky
All I want to do is fly
Fly away from all of this mess
This tragedy
This catastrophe
I wish it was raining
Now that would be amazing
Falling from tall eucalyptus trees
Wishing I had a nice cool breeze
