Dessert in the Desert



These despised hot days
here in the desert
collecting cacti
with my camera
heat dripping down
from my scalp
to the soles of my
crispy baked feet
all I can think of is ice cream
mint ice cream
cold
soothing to my
lips
tongue where heavenly flavor rules
In my imagination I ate
the entire carton
then went back to work
with heat dripping down
from my scalp
to the soles of my
crispy baked feet

  1. How did I miss this? It's delightful!! (And I loved the line "crispy baked feet," I can commiserate as I live in Phoenix and have to wear sunscreen every single day.) ^_^
