Heatwave

poem by: Gerry Legister
Written on Jul 23, 2016

The hazy morning filled up the atmosphere 
With the summer’s air that could not travel far.
Ode to humanity and media, a sign of nature 
Without summer sunny breeze passing there. 
A heat wave goes where the dry dew relent; 
And countless signs for loose showers sent.

Half worn prayers accelerated heavenward 
The noise of complaints to angels dwelling place.
Acquire a listening ear for voices to be heard,
Cries from the windows of earth caught in space.
Where moon stars intersect and greasy grass
Becomes a worn desire for paradise bliss.

We stripped the body of clothes and shoes 
But it was not enough to cringe the heat wave.
In undies of soaring heat in parks and beaches, 
The secret water drunk stayed with the brave.
Histamines sufferer much more uncomfortable.
Great, if it was something normal and desirable.

Heat wave, sizzling humidity faze find outdoors 
Frying trail sprawled over multiple absentees,
Forgetting to do most of the household chores 
The data key lost in unanimous high degrees.
