🔥Now known as the #LodgeFire 🔥 evacuations for a mobile home park is underway. More expected for this fast burning fire.

The old time people here in warm
earth lodges thirty feet across
burned pitchy pinewood slivers for
their candles,
snow after snow for all those
centuries before—
lodgefire light and pitchy slivers
burning—

don’t need much light for stories in

the night.
