the sound of footsteps
geckos scurry
into the brush
summer
Pink
pink clouds
warm the pavement
the air glows
Wildfire
strong winds
carry wildfires
closer to home
Disappear
dry leaves
scatter on the sidewalk
and disappear
Hello
wind chimes
whisper a gentle
hello
Longer
the sun takes longer
to say good night
summer
Heat
sunset
heat still pulses
from the pavement
Advisory
wildflowers
shrivel and dry
heat advisory
Kitchen
nightly news
the smell of scallions
grandma’s kitchen
Friend
hummingbird
a small friend
perched in my tree
haiku tree
