The sun is unforgiving; it scalds the earth. Hot
Has no meaning in the desert.
From morning to evening, every day.

When it is not day,
When it is night, it is not hot,
But rather chillingly freezing: temperature extremes in the desert.

Even fire would retire to shadow in the desert,
Where every day,
It is maddeningly, unbelievably hot.

When isn’t it a hot day in the desert?
