A Walk to the Post Office, June 1st

A long worm crawls from a hole

deep in sodden ground

the air passes overhead

grass strains for sky

heat, uncomparable heat

beating like wings, engulfed in flames

sidewalk sizzling

footsteps plod towards shade

biting, coarse exhaust

tapping cylinders in the rhythm of stoplights

tight faces behind green glass

staring at cellphones, twitching their lips

in anticipation of movement
