Compose a short description of a foreboding scene outside a wilderness forest with trees and brambles.

Signs of a mighty conflagration are everywhere. Scarred furrows in the ground make footing uncertain. Blackened thorn branches wave like spiny skeletons, stripped of leaves and hardened by fire. Heat-fused lumps of something unidentifiable lie scattered about -- driven into the ground, entangled in the brambles, flattened across the backs of raw wounds in the bark of trees. Something unimaginably hot has burned a huge gap in the undergrowth to the south, like a white-hot poker sizzling through flesh.
