the
sky broke loose a couple months early
to
let in a heat bubble
for
a slow bake
refusing
to peter out
even
when dark falls
you
watch your fluids shrink
before
they reach the skin
down
at the giant eagle
a
few cars are leaving oil slicks
before
& after the check-out lines
like
a shooting & car jacking
that
made the morning news
the
pavement and even the grass
is
too hot for the canines
the
backyard squirrels aren't moving
the
last finch i saw left two days ago
the
two mourning doves have gone
their
separate ways
there
aren't many more ways
to
say the word
ways
