The battle between fire and Humitree

Hellitree

by Lea Tonin1

Trees of old combustible flash 

Bombs of flame make

Humitree dash

Burning bursts and Manitree clash

Dressed his arms in embers and ash

 

Girlitree's hears all voices wail.

Elongated limb to ponds trail

Her hand transformed,

tube that can't fail.

Siphoned wet life

doused in exhale.

 

Humitree family drag free

Crawled past red heat of burning tree

Slipped into pond, from flames they see

Wrapped in water saved Humitree
