fire

the slow roll over.
the heaviness of summer.
the smallness of life.

exchanging paper
for precious minutes of life.
real robber barons.

catastrophic loss.
charismatic cheshire cats
will swallow you whole

a respite of cool.
the nuzzle of dog’s noses.
this is summer fun.

hot tempered gold sun.
i move within thick hot space.
fluid is the heat.

crumbs from the table
not enough to feed the dog.
remaining hungry.
