Conditioned by one of the worst
Wildfire seasons in our state’s history,
I assumed this plume of smoke
Seen from a distant island
Meant we weren’t done yet,
Despite the recent rains,
But no, it’s just our paper mill,
Which, these days, is a burning issue,
But that’s a fire of a different sort,
In which attempts to protect the lives of workers
May mean risking their jobs.
Hard choices…
