The Heat Wave Of 2025

The Heat Wave Of 2025

Heat presses in

today will climb to 30 degrees

the air is thick,

like it’s holding me down

no breeze moves

the sky feels heavy and close

the night was into 20’s

but I barely touched sleep

my mind spun, restless

body aching to lie still

but the heat won’t let me

I toss and turn, sweat sticking to skin

the world feels slow

and loud inside my head

breathing is heavy work

each moment drags

the sun beats harder

no relief comes

only the weight of this slow burning

I pray for rain

for cool drops to fall

to wash this heat away

to break the silence of sweat

and restless nights

bring the sky alive with sound

let the earth breathe again

let me breathe again
