summer then

summer
hot
the sticky tack of asphalt

floating
heat
breathe
stink hot
sunburnt lips from earlier

bed, cool by comparison -
still hot.
darkness
crickets
fall slowly asleep
fall slowly asleep

pine -
whisper of needles
- smell of pine
close
stifle
eyes open
dim silhouette - needled branches, over
a dark dark gray square
night
here comes
a car rolls by outside
tires fade away,
sticky
licking the street
