July the air is too warm
July I am too hot
Hot hot burning hot
Sweltering and useless
All movement requires more
Energy than can be spared
From the flames burning
The heat melting asphalt
Cheeses puddling crayons
And lipstick and candy
Have become new mediums
For painting textured
Art so hot so hot so hot
Evaporating ponds
Turning mud roads
Into deep sand traps
Sweat and sand
Swimming waters
Too warm and dangerous
Brew of bacteria and
Ameoba and chemical runoff
Too hot July
Of difficult
Summer births
Of sweet Cancer babies
And joyful thoughtful Cancer children
Who become loving
Kind generous Cancer adults
But oh I am so hot
With my nerves extending
Almost two centimeters
Beyond the surface of my skin
I force myself to walk
Staggering
A trail of
Steam and smoke
As I burn on the inside
With burning
Searing Grace
Flames dancing across
My vision
My body burning
With strange fevers
Unable to cool myself
I burn so hot too warm
The steaming pounding
Rain all gone
Until heralded by
Lightening and constant
Thunder glorious
Rain will come again
And amid the
Flashing bolts
The thunders roar
The rushing winds
I shall be soothed
By the cooling Sacred Rain
