Stinking Hot Summer NC:


In my mirror is me
My Mexican mirror
In America once
I was soft and sweaty
Soaked in humidity
Pools forming in my shoes
From rivulets
Coursing silently, invisibly
From my neck, under my sports top
Down my stomach
And pants and inside thigh
Accumulating
As it ran sometimes dammed
By waist-band and seam
Gently absorbing until all
Became damp
And the only cure

Was a luke warm shower.
