heatwave night air barely sighs heatwave bodies lie far apart on sweat damp sheets heatwave tuxedo boy sleeps spread eagled, legs asprawl on wet shower tiles heatwave the god child twists and turns in superman ****** under mosquito-net blown by fans heatwave outside small things bathe & scurry through waterpans placed on fast dying grass and larger things drink gulping mouthfuls from the pond heatwave and we all await the breeze and the small hours of the night when the temperature drops when the air cools enough so as not to stifle breath, anger minds, open lips leaving hurt behind heatwave

heatwave
heatwave night air barely sighs heatwave bodies lie far apart on sweat damp sheets heatwave tuxedo boy sleeps spread eagled, legs asprawl on wet shower tiles heatwave the god child twists and turns in superman ****** under mosquito-net blown by fans heatwave outside small things bathe & scurry through waterpans placed on fast dying grass and larger things drink gulping mouthfuls from the pond heatwave and we all await the breeze and the small hours of the night when the temperature drops when the air cools enough so as not to stifle breath, anger minds, open lips leaving hurt behind heatwave
Record night temps followed by hot still days...air con not cutting it..
