Sticky Air – v6

Now suddenly summer

hot, humidity

a blanket, a cloth

heavy upon us, urgent

burning off the morning

a coolness of spring

weight in the air

Yet the sounds, the motion

as if through cotton batting

early today, trip to school,

waking of new morning

tamped down, slowed

as if by heavy, sticky air

The web of the morning clouds

lowered to the ground

falling, filling the valley

the way down the hill, to home,

as through an invisible blanket

our world ensnared, wrapped

in the waves of the heat
