wrapped up warm:
a fleece of cloud-wool covers
house, river, hill
Tag: heat

A heat that strains, it
Winds up air conditioners
And sets fans spinning. -
Heat cracks — crumbles —
Pitters, pours, drips — and drains away
Back to hot and dry. -
In this hot car
Even open windows blow
Sticky, still air -
From warm cement, skinks
Animate in stop motion:
Frame two — three — and gone! -
Wide as playing cards
They flop through hot, yellow air:
Orange butterflies. -
Day keeps us in
Sweating in chilled rooms, until
Cool, orange dusk -
cloudless, treeless
streets to cross between two caves.
too hot to think -
Grey and chilly,
Early and late. But noon?
Asphalt and heat. -
The air bakes
Yellowed grass, towering trees
No fire danger — yet
