Blaze by A.R.C.

An innocent

Spark

From the grinding

Of metal

Ignites a piece

Of dry grass

Caked

With an oily

Substance


Breathing in

Surrounding

Oxygen

The blaze 

Begins to take shape

Following

The trail of

Liquid

That shouldn't 

Have been there


Black smoke

Starts to rise

At a rapid pace

As a sea of red and orange

Burn brightly

In the night sky


Animals

Smelling the burnt

Grass and trees

Seeing

The light spreading

Flee as rapidly

As possible


Only a few minutes

Have passed

And already

The blaze 

Has spread across an

Acre of land

The same land that was

Due to be marked

As a historical

Landmark

The very next day

Now to become

The historical blaze

That should not have been
