Table Rock is burning
And I worry about the scorpions
That live in cabins along the ridge
Tails hung curled above their heads
Like crescent moons in the sooty air
Will they rendezvous with their ancient cousin
Who killed the hunter, Orion
And be hung by Gaia
Among the stars that sail
The Blue Ridge Mountain sky
