Heat builds throughout the morn
becoming a sunlit breeze
weaving the willow branches
 
Clouds connect
deepening their gray
blown out over the gulf
 
Hours pass altering the day
shadows darken
beneath the mulberry tree
 
Humidity dampens the afternoon
mockingbird sings the blues
accentuating the heat index
 
Sticky stillness
begs for respite
from summer’s captivity
 
Evening dawns
a contented sigh
it too born of the day
