No Trees, Now

Heat on heat
Heat on humidity

Near-charcoal smolders under a fine layer of ash, not because I dug around for the right word, but because that's what it does

What it's been doing all night
Night after night

Fan it and fan it some more

The sun will come up and splay oranges and reds down the way

The sun will go down and a host of other stars will get a turn at making you dizzy

You're floating
They're floating
And they're burning, too

Get some sleep, Monday is on its way
