Hot

It is hot.

Simmering searing

sweaty steamy

sticky icky

boiling broiling

roasty toasty

burning baking

spirit breaking

lazy making

tryingly fryingly

dyingly whyingly

hot.

Unseasonal

Honeysuckle perfumes my whole yard

enough surely to sweeten the bitter cup

of a hot steamy miserable July weekend

shoving its way into my merry little month of May.

Shut the House

Fragrance of honeysuckle drifts through the window

on a just barely cool breeze

Starlings make their grackling comments

The day will be hot and I

I will be shutting up the house

wishing I had held and preserved

a cup of this early morning freshness.
