A change in mood. I was looking out my window and listening to the sounds of the evening. I was also probably inspired by the fact that the aircon has died on me again, and it’s so hot around here!
Unfrozen
Darkening skies
Sweaty air
Where is the wind to lift my mood
Sultry evening
Immobile, still
Where is the heart that used to beat nearby
Through the humid streets
Past lonely lamps I walk
Stolid gates and rigid hedges
Frozen but uncomfortably warm
And yet
Birds call out their evening song
Come gathering in the muggy gloom
Perfectly able to find each other
Wings moving, voices shrilling
Stationary air that becomes a tiny gust
Life that rolls past
Undaunted by stifling stagnation
Darker now in lifting heat
Leaves tremble
A soothing sign
With lightening step
Cooler stride
I turn toward home
A song perhaps, a wing flutter and a breeze
Will find the heart
And bring it to beat beside me again
