wildflowers
shrivel and dry
heat advisory
heat
Too
wind chimes
barely ping
too hot to sleep
Heat
heat
not even the birds
will sing
Heavy
sunlight
weighs heavy
in the trees
Nothing
noon
nothing stirs
desert heat
Hot
empty streets
too hot to play
silence
Heat
a gecko scurries
up the the wall
rising heat
Perched
two wrens
perched on a plum tree
thirsty for rain
Cool
a leaking spigot
wrens cool off
one by one
Gelato
cobblestone alley
gelato drips
on my thumb
haiku tree
