August

August, with its

morning breath

steaming up the

windows like a 

greedy dog

fierce cacophony

of hungry reptiles

below the humidity

of still hours

harsh sunlight and

swelling storms, both

falling upon you and I

so helpless here

sweating in obscene

places, the biting

beach sand, tree shade,

car wash relief, umbrella

slipping September a

love note, X's and O's

waiting patiently for

her to take my breath

away, or just give a 

promising wink
