Hot And Cold Flashes

The Sun’s fire rises,
raising temperatures’s smile;
A tug of war dance;

Palm tree afternoon,
humidity’s peak level;
Thermometer breaks;

Healed by a sunset,
taking you back to the ground;
Rain colors your back;

Stretched to the limit
trying to break the fever:
In the end? Chilled out;

Hot and cold flashes 
of the Dirty South.
