Heat Wave

In the cinnabar
the air curves
female in a silent request
of damp strands
yearning for wet sand
and the thunder of an ocean face
needing all her pieces
displaced

I have certainly FELT heat before, but Martie? You allowed me to see it, hear it and taste it too. (And personified as a woman too. That made me smile wide.)

My my my, what a painter you are...

Yes -- that's exactly how heat looks when it feels like it feels there along the edge of your mountains....

I'm heading for the beach to sprawl on the sand and watch my grown-up kid play volleyball for money.... wanna come along?

...sorry, I admit it's petty cruelty even to ask that on a day like this!

Yes! You've captured it, Martie!

Another heat wave coming in a day or two in this hot Cali summer.

I've been looking toward Tahoe this weekend, the ocean's so far away. A lake isn't the same, but it's cool there.
