Listen. If the leaves
Rustle, it's a gift.
This hot silence is not
Easy to miss
With the loud clashing
Against your skin
As it stews outside.
I look out, from within.
An escape, just until
I step out next.
It reached 90 degrees today. I don't think I am ready for the kind of heat Florida deals out regularly in the Summer. This same time last week I was sitting out on my balcony, comfortable in the low humidity. I knew it would be short-lived, and that is why I soaked it in. Now, the humid, hot air has returned and everyone flocks to the pool. I went for a run at my apartment gym and on my way back the only sound was the drone of everyone's air conditioning unit running. Welcome to Florida.
