Etched
...poem by Jess Gopez - tau alpha fraternity brother...
Etched
Shimmering simmering
The bright sun etches
Searing images
Searing my soul!
Simmering shimmering
The scalding air sears
Scalding my lungs
Scalding the day!
Shimmering waves
The blinding heat evaporates
Searing my mind
Searing my existence!
Simmering steaming
Humidity boiling
Scalding my sweaty brow
Scalding my parched throat!
Bright summer journeys
We should be grateful for
El Niño has metamorphosed
Broiling our thoughts away!
