The Heat Oppresses Us
The heat oppresses us
pulling us down
towards the least
that can be done.
Each movement
takes its toll
on movement
in this airless world.
Where even breathing
becomes a chore
and time drips like sweat
down the melting clock face
and sticks us
tight against these sheets,
as we watch the window
waiting for the curtains
to indicate a breeze
has come to rescue us.
