Blazing Hot Summer Asphalt Wallows---

blazing hot summer
a black, bad asphalt wallows
melts into dry grass

bugs get stuck dry-up
frozen in heated black spot
burnt alive dead stuck

what is it left but...
chard, burnt amber drops dots
blaze burn up insects

melts into dry grass
a black, bad asphalt wallows
hot summer blazing

Oh yes... this is all too real. Like the funny way, it appears water on the tarmac and yet, dry as a bone. Heat, fire without flame. Poor bugs. Excellent write my friend. Ann
