I woke up in the dark and snow
And called out,
"Mum where are you?"
The house was empty, freezing cold,
Open door,
Foot prints the clue.

A street of houses,
Yawning portals,
The dead of night,
A dearth of mortals,

The sky a flickering orange
Casting moving blanks of light,
Drawing, sreaching hopefuls, wide eyes,
To pointing huddle in nightwear bright .

In the gap between the roof tops
Sparks rise up in fountains,
Flames devour the dry oak beams,
Leave the wails as jagged mountains.

And later, in the watery sunrise,
When snow becomes sacred soot,
Mourners, meandering, stare in anguish,
With blackened glass underfoot.
