Breathing in the hot drowsy wind that then sits, stagnant, in the lungs of the weary figure (mine own) and exhaling long, the lazy summer air as she waited (I sat for hours you know) for the afternoon to decay even though time itself seemed to be drugged slumbering in the African heat.

Slumbering
Breathing in the hot drowsy wind that then sits, stagnant, in the lungs of the weary figure (mine own) and exhaling long, the lazy summer air as she waited (I sat for hours you know) for the afternoon to decay even though time itself seemed to be drugged slumbering in the African heat.
