Swelter

Slow sun lazy-dripping swelter slipping-lifting
Overhead - overhead
The yellow month sags alongside ice-cream truck
The curtains open-wide
Blue-glaze skies and scorched-red butterflies
Slow down

Sun-drifting over try to slow it down
Smoking-mirror in a blue picture frame

Window open-wide let a funnel of yellow-heat
In slipping running down - running down
Fever flash floorboards as white as melted wax
A game with colored chalk on the sidewalks
Crickets chatter in a painted light - painted light
Let it rise, let it fall - down
Slow down

Sky drifting over us like melted wax
Smoking mirror in a blue picture frame
