Poem Artwork

Pressed down by the
weight of heat, I am
cooked where I stand ---

birds are smashed to
silence.  Not a peep
lifts the air --- wind, only

a memory, as is rain.
Rain --- I remember it,
once.  It never fell as

sweat.  The sun burns
hot in monotonous skies:
unending.  Relentless --- 

(c) 2010, Karla Dorman (6/22)

I think it's gonna be a murderous summer in many places this year. Way up north here, we now keeping getting the 90s, and wave after wave of violent thunderstorms.
