Here Where the Heat Is
Here, where heat seeps
through stones,
and shadows wedge
into the hours,
and air hangs spare
and paper thin,
here we nap
in near-dead sleep.
I’ve recycled the phrase near-dead sleep because that’s the way a nap feels in 33.6° heat. Shared with #APoemADay on Twitter ©Misky 2021

Oh this is indeed hot stuff, M, (though here, where we measure in Fahrenheit, 33.6 is just above freezing).
