This is the fourth poem in my project, and it’s based on my short story, “City of Ashes.”

The Scarlets are outcasts—feared and hated by the superstitious townspeople for reasons long forgotten. One boy, however, knows the truth. So when the city is threatened by disaster, it’s up to Zaccai alone to unite the Scarlets and the townspeople before fire destroys them all.
