it's hard to describe the feeling
of looking outside
and seeing smoke everywhere
smoke so thick it's hard to breathe
the sun crowned in red
my senses filled with fire
disquieting, is how i might describe it
not sad, or scary, but something in between
the air itself burning
moths everywhere, desperately fleeing
the scent of embers, too close for comfort
the world felt over
nothing felt real
everyone just went about their day
despite the smog
it's an odd feeling
looking at my phone and seeing
life is going on as normal, just not for me
to live in an apocalypse and
to have no one care
thank God it's raining today
