The Fiery Bushfire

Branches fall
Birds call
Hauling the bodies inside the door
It's as red as the sun
The willowing tree has been following me
Red
Red
Red
Thought they were free
Has to be the key
The soil dwelling
Bruises swelling
Thick bushes brush by
Smoking hot air
Rushing through my hair
Smoke
Smoke
Smoke
