hot night in july
there will be no sleep for me tonight
although a stone's throw from the sea
there is no wind
not even a whisper of an atmospheric exhalation
aeolus is on vacation
gone to the cool green mountains
to the north along with all other
sane persons with means of escape
the air is viscid
almost uninhalable
and brings no refreshment to the lungs
nitrogen oxygen and their minions
are beasts of burden tonight
great barrels of water accrue to every molecule
and one may as well swim as walk
in the heated velvet of the night
much as i have all these many years
desired you
if you should apparate tonight
ready (finally) to claim what i have offered
i would
in the interests of self-preservation
be forced to deny you
not even the gift of your long-awaited flesh
could tempt me tonight
the very thought of a body - even yours -
wetly plastered to my skin
conjures visions of being buried alive
a footer jackhammered into the mattress
by the sticky concrete of manweight
no
there would be no sex tonight
when jack frost arrives
to slay the lordly beast of summer
and i lie shivering in my bed
caressed only by a cold winding sheet
i might curse myself for this refusal
still i banish every wish i ever made for passion
and sit melting in the suffocating embrace
of this hot night in july

Gorgeous write and painting. Love the colors. Heat is my bane as well. I cannot abide it. I live 8 miles from the beach, and I still feel too hot in August-October. Let it be no more than 80 degrees and everyone will get to live. :o)
