Desert Heats Collapse (Tanka)

Desert heats collapse

Banished back to whence it came

The abyss of Hell

Welcome the chill of Heaven

With falls gracious arrival

    Nicely done, Dom! Those “desert heats” we remember well! For a while we lived in an RV in Apache Junction, AZ immediately west of the Superstition Mountains. I’ll bet you know where that is! (I think I read that you live in Arizona)

      I know exactly where that is and have been through it many times. Yes, I do live in Arizona, just west of Phoenix. Yesterday didn’t even get to 75 degrees, that was our first day below 80 in a very long time, it was really nice. Not to mention it rained in the morning which as you know is a very infrequent event her.

    Seems fall is being a little less gracious this year. Shows up, leaves for a week, and returns a little on the drunk side. At least over here.

      Anything below 80 degrees here signifies fall. Yesterday the high where I was was 72 degrees and in the morning was 51 degrees, finally some sweatshirt weather. It was wonderful. Back to the low 80’s today and for the next 10 days, still nice.
