Late Summer

This haze
hides the mountain
and traps unpleasant heat
but I’m not yet choked by smoke from
the fires.

  1. That’s something I’d forgotten about here in the UK, where the weather has cooled down and we’re getting quite a lot of rain, so no heath, moorland or forest fires, plus all the children are back at school. But now I have autumn fires to contend with, people burning garden rubbish and leaves. Stay safe, Maria.
