From a photo of Phoenix

Photo of Phoenix

A wall of brown
over Phoenix
where my kids are.
At least it’s not a hurricane,
like it was when my daughter
lived in Louisiana
while I sat nervously
a thousand miles away
as she evacuated.
Then when she returned home,
she’d talk to me on the phone
while she checked the toilet
for critters.
