I tried to capture
the night
but
it proved itself
elusive
slipped through
my fingers
evaded my grasp
concealed itself
in darkness
stayed quiet
until I wearied
I tried t
to capture
the night
I looked
everywhere
found nothing
that could touch
or tag
found nothing
but a stirring of the air
I tried hard
but all I got
was darkness

Controlled burns I hope.
Although they aren’t called the Department Of Sparks and Embers for nothing.

Controlled so far. Air is full of it, though. Unpleasant.

I think I heard on the news the other day that Melbourne was suffering from smoke haze so at least you are sharing.

We rarely get smoke from the north of Melbourne. Although smoke doesn’t both me much I used to deliver all night and during winter it’s always pretty thick in the air.
