Forecast

Will this heat burn off?
My chest billows, lungs stealing from damp summertime breeze
welcome; it has looked like rain for days
the sultry air between us betraying uneasy breaths
I will drink from clouds should they draw any closer
their water infuse til they are light and I am heavy
You shimmer in the rain
sink seeds deeper within the soil beneath you
richer for your impression
I dissolve into bluer sky
spilt forward, uncontained
as colors through a prism
I’ve chosen serenity
chosen lips over ears
