Californian fires...

For @aspenbrave.bsky.social our summer heat is invisible but wilting plants tell us life is weighty right now summer is the season of heat but your heat is fire anachronistic heat v. cold heat that destroys erases temporarily but even this heat cannot damn the stubborn drive to re-build
