Hazy humid heat

Fervently consuming yet

Inescapable

Leafy green shadows

Shimmer on summer sunshades

Wilting into gold

Resting these clipped wings

A stubborn cage of control

I built for myself

City coloured shapes

Squeezing into tubes and squares

People everywhere

Turbulent ocean

Waves draw and drag me apart

Pulmonary vein

One drop of water

Falling into a still pool

Must create ripples

Rivers of water

Steady in salty torrents

Run down lonely cheeks
