the heat

the heat can really
only be compared
to an open oven
forgot to shut it off
who is in charge
who is running this joint
burned out some
will surely say
like a candle with
no wax left to burn
on the other hand
he has plenty
even if it’s a little singed
he becomes inspired
by evening rain
and afternoon sun
and day break brilliance
the heat makes the cat
heavy in the breathing
without an extra thought
to spare…
