It surrounds us
Gone for months
I missed it so much
Stifling, life-sucking
super-heat came
back in the spring
Taking energy away
replacing it with lethargy
Shirt-soaking humidity
Much worse in the city
cursed words out loud
looking for a rain cloud
Was it so hard to ask
for relief from
extreme heat and its blast?
we asked
How long can it last?!
Cool air came back
and it kisses me.
Hope it lasts....
