Heatwave




Heatwave

The sun: the heating of the day
Sweat, tiredness, so very hot
Back ache tightening in a knot
The jet stream comes this way

Saharan dust falls like fine spray
Or shotgun blasting out fine shot
The sun: the heating of the day
Sweat, tiredness, so very hot

Still no breeze to cool this way
Heat of the night: unhappy lot
My poor brain begins to rot
All too soon stars fade away
The sun: the heating of the day
