New York Summer
Sticky, humid, skin
Sweltering inferno blaze
Summer has no wind
The flies are dizzy
Joy hums from each piazza
Two views of day's rot
The hydrant founts glee
No rain promised in the sky
Water is respite here.
The tongue flakes songs
Lovers returned to the parks
Love sparks a new flame
Dreams burn in desire
The heart pants for new friendships
Pale male on his spire.
Summer has no wind
The city swelters without rain
And love blooms again.
