Fox fire

Blooms in plumes 
As motley spots of tulips
splotch the green grass
Of a spry spring:
Like firefly fairies 
(Or will of the wisps)
Spark the vigorous air 
With thunder
And sheets of turbulent rain 
come down as a blanket 
And smother fox fires 
In a thirsty deluge
That feeds a kappa,
Births a kelpie,
And forms the mossy avalanche.
Which makes a tanuki's
Summer cobble stone home
Into nothing but a stampede
Of rubble running down hill
At Mach four
Into the bramble bush of
Barb wire and
Chain link
fencing that housed
The horrors within 
Auschwitz and Buchenwald.
An animalistic 
Almost fantastical 
Sense
Of
Horror
Brought about by means
Of methodical
Destruction
That's only capable by
Human constructs
In conflict with
Nature.
