the Heat

The heat came today
It was early... I felt it on my face
It was heavy on my tongue
My lungs remembered coffee steam

I drove the streets… black and bright
The sun was new… I felt its intention
My neck held my shirt
It pushed against my eyes

Sweat filled my pores
The shade called
And the night
My mind was on the autumn
