The Cockatoos

I can barely breathe up high in the sky.
The flames glow like the sun.
They keep stretching out from the mountains
While we wait hoping for the storm.
Our home
Burnt in the night,
Our hollow
Burnt to a crisp.
We fly away but it doesn't end.
We reach a stream yet to burn.
Stop the fire, it is now your turn.
