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

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.
