Anytime soon…
An ode to my least favourite time of year in the Southern Hemisphere

I wonder if the Antipodean summer
I admit cringe from
Will be here anytime soon?
The radioactive, relentless blast of skin scorching
So beloved by those hardy souls
With lifelong residence and olive skin
Is a bit late this year
Last weeks one day bloom of searing glare
And a lost aircon remote
Has finished me off already
So you can be sure
I’m taking the reprieve
With gratitude
As I imagine I’m not going to want to leave
A blackened cave or it’s equivalent
At least my spot next to the fan
Before March next year
Who is with me?
