fire in the attic
we’re back on the ground
having jumped out of
the little white aerocraft
at the break of dawn
at the same time
the sky was still falling
flaming rocks crashing
setting our very target on fire
we were unprepared
to reverse rappel
but that’s exactly what we did
outmaneuvering the fireballs
expertly escaping from hell
december two thousand twenty-two
