Poems
Jan 2018
summer
dull treacle melting against the pavement
cicadas hissing in the heat
an occasional breeze is a ragtag flag
fluttering before going still
syrup sitting warm and heavy on your tongue
soda fizzing flat and falling sharp
a sour note to end
a miserable heat to begin the day
hot humidity pressing down
wind humming in protest
sweat dripping slick and tacky
eyes slipping slowly closed
until
the heat
ends
I remember writing this while waiting for a bus.
It was very hot.
