seeing clearly

it smells
like something is burning.
something
nearby,
but not in the stove,
not the furnace.
no one is outside
cooking on the grill.
but something
is on fire,
something is going down
to the ground
in flames,
and ashes.
I see the smoke
everywhere.
I feel the heat
and the burn nearby.
I step away and look
from afar
and see what it is.
strange how distance
and time
clears your eyes.
