Hi.. still on vaca, found a little moment to write about this awful opressive heat =) . . Immobile in the pine pitch sauna of two in the pre-heated afternoon, steam, steam in the air, the breath, pressed to Earth by a radiant palm, still as death. This heat is a force, slapping the cheeks red, sucking the juice of any living item, inhaling moisture jealously, greedy, insensate and monstrous. Cumulus climb the corners of a burnt sky, accumulated breath and sweat and tears all rising in sullen churning, piling patient and persistent. Baked grasses, browned to perfection wait to be served by the promising storm. Wait with the half-lidded patience of the shimmering bay, tail-switching slow under the wilted willow.

Beautiful: heat of forest near small clearing, stillness of the air, sky observation, plants in mini-drought, shining waters, animal companion, a complete and well-composed picture, er, communication. This drew me in well. Thankfully, the Pac NW prognosis is for some cooling over the next few days. |
