Analysis of Sun...

Nick A Davis 1973 (Memphis)



Rising quickly in the East,
Rising over the Organ Mountains,
Warming the dust in the air,
Trying to wake the valley,
Keeping the animals on the hill warm...

Cool on cool mornings,
Calms a southern wind,
Cooks the dirt in the desert,
But calms the tumbleweeds...
