PICTURES OF THE SOUTHWEST: HEAT by ELIZABETH KING COWGILL

First Line: NAKED HEAT DEVILS
Last Line: LIKE DEMONS PAROLED FROM HELL.
Subject(s): HEAT; WEST (U.S.); SOUTHWEST; PACIFIC STATES;
Naked heat devils
Rise from ribbons of pavement;
They swirl, dance and writhe --
Stab you in the face with glee
Like demons paroled from hell.
