Out of smoke thicker than thunder
clouds they galloped; aglow and beautiful,
outlined in flame—their manes and tails
flickering surreally bright as they burned—.
It took us long moments to realize the horses
were actually ablaze, caught in a winter grass fire
as fierce and bewildering as it was deadly...
The animals, trapped and confused,
were running to their deaths.
