Once more we watch
this surreal horror unfold
safe in our own homes for now
not that far away

How could this happen to Canada?
we ask
and yet it does

Made all the more real on CBC
a chart of the area
under siege by the wildfire
with a map of Ottawa easily fitting inside

No
a prayer for Yellowknife
is a prayer for us all
