Scorching rays ripple roasting
Repelling those sane with brains toasting.
Frantically feeling, the skin peeling
Succumbed sizzling and fever dreaming.
Sun beating a tattoo in allegro time
Quickening the sickening, as long as it shines.
Messing, mulching, my wits to goo.
Thoughts all loopy through and through.
Sweating, steaming. Loss of feelings
Hidden in shadow, staring at ceiling.
Praying to the gods for rain at last
But still stuck in the heat’s shitty grasp.
