And moisture will be waving again its last drops in the air
Perhaps, you will understand then
by the time hot days will be curing the grass, perhaps
But anyhow your heart will be embraced in red
In a violent red flame
Smoke and cough
Spreading through death
Freely
Without a break
From grass to grass
Storming into the fine mesh of bushes
Burning out loud yet
Like climate and change
Fire and life
Death and land
Truth and roots
Aborigine is Heritage
Beauty and Knowledge
Elders knew what were the words
mOfred
🌸 thank yOu!

This was my contribution to the fifth ICORP news report.
Above average rainfalls during the last triple event of La Niña in Australia have led to prolific vegetation growth, increasing risk conditions for unprecedented grassfires next summer 2023-2024, more destructive and deadly than ever before.
"Firefighters fear that grassfires occuring in hot, dry and windy conditions worsened by climate change could unfold on a scale never before experienced, potencially overwhelming emergency services at times, and placing comunities at great risk.", as in words of Greg Mullins, founder of Emergency Leaders for Climate Action and former commissioner of Fire and Rescue NSM.

Dick once told Alfred, "Mom and Dad always taught me to enjoy myself. I think maybe I'm helping Bruce to sometimes enjoy himself, too."
And then when Dick was older, Bruce told him, "And the truth is, I didn’t save you from some dark fate, those years ago. You saved me from one. And you still are saving me, every day."
