How Hot Was It
~*~
~~**~~
in the desert heat
coyotes scream so wildly
echo through the sage
~*~
mercury rising
thermometers replace clocks
the burning sky melts
~*~
sunrise to sunset
blue turns pink yellow and orange
colors to behold
~*~
Arizona heat
a hundred ten in the shade
eggs fry on sidewalks
~*~
sweats beads in seconds
blister and burn in minutes
my hair is on fire
~~**~~
