THIS WEEK'S WORDS come from "Once in a Meadow, Near Los Osos by Michael McClintock: single, empty, dandelion, spool, aflame, wanton, flaring, wildflowers, poppies, coastal, innocent, coat
In an empty single standing house
By the coastal bay

Untamed gardens with pretty flowers in spring
Dandelion, Poppies, and wildflowers growing there
Pink lotuses and wantons on the small lake there
Once upon a time, stood there a pretty house
That was burnt down by a spool of dry hay
A small cigarette butt, set the hay aflame
That small flame went flaring around the house
That fire claimed 6 innocent lives
The town tried to remove the victims from there
Alas, all the found was the tiny coat of the 2 year old, that lived there
