In the name of Muses, pen abusers


Sun scorches

the sidewalk that screams of

sizzling heat

as sweat smeared air

floats overhead like bulky clouds

and tongues search for comfort 

from summer's listless fever.

I turn to you for the ice cold answer

in retaliation to the heatwave's 

effervescent presence.

Thirsts evanesce into warm mist.

This bright pink pitcher 

is the perfect picture

of summer's urges.

Pinkness drips from dry lips

as we swing to July's Jamboree.
