It is hot.
Simmering searing
sweaty steamy
sticky icky
boiling broiling
roasty toasty
burning baking
spirit breaking
lazy making
tryingly fryingly
dyingly whyingly
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.
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.
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.
