Summer in Dubai

September 3, 2020

The golden sun rays

streaming through the curtains.

Scorching heat,

forty degrees at nine in the morning,

water in the taps piping hot,

vapor from the garden grass

as the gardener waters garden,

dried burned leaves,

and twigs upon the branches,

not a bird in sight,

for the birdbath is dried,

the sands shine like gold dust,

while oasis is like an empty nest.

No people walking on roads,

the heat from the tar

can burn the toes.

Cars are driven slowly

for the tyre burst

due to heat on the road.

That's summer for us here in Dubai.
