A Cold Summers Day

A Cold Summers Day

Heat is trapped in warm bodies
As clouds shroud the cold sky
Hiding the sun from its summer reign,
While weeping searing soft droplets 
To nurture the undergrowth below  

Stormy soliloquys rumble the sky’s floors 
And fungus break the earth to dance 
As the subterranean beings Emerge 
Devouring these elastic treats,
Then finally returning to the Abyss 

From the white atmospheric environs
Solid waters descend, melting until atoms 
For withering winds to carry, 
Into bumped skins, to shiver for warmth. 

A cold summer day, 
Where summer had its rest.
