The heat + June 25, 2025

 


Three days of 100 degree heat and I’m just about burned out, the ice melting in my lemonade before I can sip it, though what I thirst for is not a cool drink and wish for a better reason to sweat than simply walking out into sunlight, this need still with me, so is the face I see when I shut my eyes, even not having seen her in the flesh for so long. I almost forget what she looked like, and confuse what I recall with what really was, and have replaced that face with one that inspires the heat I feel in my dreams, paarched for it, searching the bleak horizon of my reality for the oasis IO crave, a sip would do much to satisfy this need, even in the midst of this heat.
