Drought

Grass fires. Forest fires. Climate change. Drought.

A neighbor decides he does not like his wise old fir. He cuts it down. Grinds the stump. Pours concrete. Complains about his electricity bill.

Drought

Laughter in the well.
Granddad,

you come out
of there.

Buried him
that very same year.
