Dressed in red, naked!

Dressed in red, naked!

You could not run,

the smoke had started.

dressed in red, 

billowing high,

radiating heat,

signalling goodbyes.

She bled those dry

now black souls rise

while crows cry,

night time skies.

She left,

bricks and mortar

littering the grounds;

crumbled carcasses

today's surrounds.

In what was green

burnt sheep stand

defiant wondering......

"What happened!"

"She bled those dry

Prettiest stanza over here, in my opinion. I love how you expressed nighttime by giving it negative connotations and providing vivid imagery.

Thanks so much Cascara
