Poem Artwork

Pavement and I are one,
melted together in
a miasma of heat.

Sweat running down my face
liquifies the asphalt
so it sticks to my feet ---

hot out there.  Cannot wait
for Autumn; will be the
first one out there to greet

its arrival.  Until
then, I get to know part
of South West Thomas Street ...

(c) 2008, Karla Dorman (7/26)

Sounds absolutely miserable. And here I sit with a horrible summer cold - totally oblivious to all that is going on. I trust Dolly's mess was not in your neck of the 'woods.

Take care and stay off the pavement. God bless you. Kathy
