canicular

The Raise


his pause drawn out
like a canicular afternoon
sultry and humid
slightly uncomfortable
skin stuck to the seat
sweat trickling
and she waits
yet again
for a man
to determine her fate
and in her heart
a little more hate

  1. I see two things when I read this, One, an accused witch waiting for her sentencing. Two a modern day woman with a broken AC waiting for the fellow who will repair it between the hours of 8am and 1pm Monday... or maybe Tuesday... Or maybe Saturday...
