Lie In Bed
Lie in bed
feel the sweat
slowly
running down your forehead
Imagine
you are on the bayou
toothpick in mouth
nothing but Southern charm
biscuits
and alligators for company
Your perspiration feeds
these wetlands
You embrace the slick living
Thoughts
You cannot fight the heat. You can only embrace it. Shake its sweaty palms and slide from shade to shade. Soon it will rain.
