melting in the august
sun, the world around me
silent
mouths move
lights spin
phones vibrate
voiceless
soundless
speechless
dumb
while beyond the
double doors
you lie
breathless
the rumbling of
the engine
the only noise
the only
noise
to cross the
silence and find me
standing
sweating
swaying
heels sinking
into the sizzling
sod
buried ‘neath the
weight of my own
futility
