thick.

this summer is full of
sticky heat and sweat
that
d

s
from my brow and my neck and the small of my back -
yes -
even there.
because it's been hot
so very, very hot
and humid
and at the end of the day, mostly miserable.
but then at night
there's this break, and for a moment
or an hour or two
and sometimes straight on through the dawn,
sitting outside is easy.
