PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

The "Santa Annas"

pound the south

like perennial puberty



shearing, searing,

scorching, roaring,

enriching



rashly erotic

gravely exotic

wholly hypnotic



suffocating, invigorating, devastating



inspiring fires

lacerating landscapes

wresting regeneration

and new inhabitation



stealing / revealing / healing

hearts



redefining discomfort and desire



infusing the air

with vapors so luxurious

the enhanced beauty of irresistibly thickened

red setting suns

rivals only their  

inevitable restorations

after long-lingering,

deep, dark, daft

and definitive nights.
