Snow Man With Ice Sky

Snow Man With Ice Sky Little girl’s hair blew tumbleweed wild Straw like in the blistering heat waves of day Rising, oven hot, from rocks and sand Punishing orange sun grew taller in the sky Burning her lips and face to red The young thing got lost along the trail Left the wagon for a moment To answer the call of nature It was only over a hill, over there She got distracted by a lizard Its show looked something like this Rear left leg, right front leg went up simultaneously Then, rear right leg and left front leg went up at the same time Its long thin tongue came out to taste the burning air She followed it with fascination Lizards run very fast Her feet took her away where she still walks Lost, under the punishing sun, out of breath In a pretty yellow dress
