trapped by heat the relentless wave
of sun. gimme a lemon
ginger ale
on ice
my mind in a prism my thoughts burn through me like sea
salt the machines and engines double
down like doom
throw me in a swimming pool turn the sky to liquid falling
down. cool rain reaches demigod status in the valley
leaking antifreeze side by fields
rivers are the queens
sacks of ice pulled down from freezer doors to fracture
on the tile
night sails in like allies freeing
paris circa
1945
