Mirage


Weeping sweat.
Inverted asphalt.
Bare feet.
I lick salt from my upper lip.

Warm air comes from the fan.
Wet hair.
Itchy skin.
Dare not move.
Stuck to the vinyl couch.

Peel me like an apple.
Unglue the clothes from my skin.
Cold washcloth has gone hot.
Breathing on ice cubes.
Exhaustion seeps through the pores.

I do look forward to reading your poems. They are so very individually "yours".

This one is no exception. I know this feeling so well, from spending seven years in the tropics.  Just one tiny thing puzzles me,


Weeping sweat.
Inverted asphalt.
Bare feet.
I lick salt from my upper lip.

I don't quite understand L2. Could you explain please?

Wonderful read, as usual  sings.gif

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
