No relief...no relief.

temperatures,
already
third-degree hot, rise;
the acid taste
of drought burns
its way past my lips;
my soul wicks, and
suddenly,
i am a candle
ablaze...

(c) 2006, Karla Dorman

Boy! This one really nails it on the head!
However, here you'd have to add a wet blanket
on top of it all. :(
Great write, Karla!

When the national weather map shows Texas, Arizona and Neveda in a white color...that's seething and just plain old uncomfortable. My raindance is for you and all you hot people. My prayers are with you and nature...for rain!!!

Love,

Wow! This reads as much like an experience of spiritual enlightenment as it does like a testimony on the current heat wave. Takes a talented poet to make something so tangible on multiple levels. Hope you get some rain on the physical one:-)
