Heat trickles between my breasts in endless rivulets sings perverse notes in the wings of cicadas relentlessly envelops me in A blanket of the hottest dust. Scorching heat greedily saps my life energy forms a constant film of sweat on my body seeks to leave me as only a humid shell of the me I really am. |
