Relentless Sun

Light crisps the leaves. Light dries the stone. Light will not leave light’s breadth alone.

That smart Solon! He sends lasers! Issues photons: life’s appraisers.

Rising rises. Set doesn’t set. Heat’s residue evening’s regret.

Lightful summer. Unceasing sun. Cloudless curse for Arizonan.

NOTE: This year’s summer monsoon season is being called the “nonsoon.” Summer rain is ghosting Phoenix in 2020. This city just broke its record for days over 110F-degree in a year. Today will be day 38.

There is no water in fire, but there is firewater. And it doesn’t help, either.
