Stifling September

 

O this heat stifles sanity;

one has become a mushroom

only leaving the house

to water tender plants

after placing umbrellas

over them to provide shade

from the wickedly hot sun.


Watering begonias is constant

those under the pergola

are in suns way and fade fast

so the removal to shade begins

every morning, no matter the forecast

as for the forecast, there hasn’t been

one spot on in weeks.


Where is the coolness and moisture

of September...
