The heat 

JEEWAN RAMLUGUN

Mercury remorsely rises

and torridness

- Publicité -

is all over the place

as the red sign shows and glows,

the deserts drawing closer,

closing in,

the cold trade raking in

rich takings, splashes ever

more the rage;

shutting doors and windows

is exhorted to stem swelter

and sweat, open spaces

so delightful given a miss,

only under shades to hide

and hydrate; it is nothing less

than a global warming

phenomenon, earth turning

into a cauldron of ire,

keeping warm around a fire

no longer necessary

only where the mercury plummets

at the other extreme end, sadly;

but some fine lines

to spin despite the misery

remains a desideratum,

the spider in the bard with webs

of words eager to proclaim

some victory over adversity,

for the wilting world sparing

some thoughts.
