Veld Fire
.
Skin crackling crisp
Blackened, peeling,
Exposing raw tissues
New life, new blood
Sanitized, purified
As the fynbos* renews
Year on year
And we watch
The regeneration
Following
The degradation
Full circle again
.
*Fynbos
Fynbos is the natural shrubland or heathland vegetation occurring in a small belt of the Western Cape of South Africa, mainly in winter rainfall coastal and mountainous areas with a Mediterranean climate. Wikipedia

Whew, some rather intense descriptions. Imagining the blackened skin bursting to the new life below. I was rather thinking of a human, which would be pretty nasty and messy. To be born anew can def be a messy thing.
