Steaming Sidewalks

steaming sidewalks
terrorizing cats and dogs
injuring their paws

my shirt is soaked
sweat running down my back
one hundred degrees

autumn welcome
where is october 
i yearn for her breeze

Since I got home a heat wave has hit...in the 90s, like it was out west. The sky has darkened and promising rain, but so far none. Perhaps it will cool down.

It is the first week of school and too hot for children to go outside.
