Summer

by Michael C. Shivar

Oh moist and humid air And heat that boils the soul Oh weather that melts away The memory of winter's cold Oh valley of fog in morning Translate to haze of day Hang over like a cloud of steam Warmed by these solar rays Have you come to tell the future? Or to strike the final blow Drops of water taunt the man Who’s thirst he tries to slow The sting of your smile burns the skin The layers peel away The heat of your anger lightens the strands And darkens this body of clay *no insight listed as of yet
