Heat

skin damp
clothes clinging
air thick
breathing difficult

i lay
still
waiting
yearning

it comes
teasing
light
playful

touching
skin
hair
lips

it’s so good
I’ve been
waiting
so long

it’s so welcome
over my skin
touching
everywhere

I lean
into it
reaching
opening myself

then it builds
in strength
until it passes
leaving me

wanting it
again and
again and
again…

there’s nothing like
a cool breeze
on a hot day
