Until Next Year

A mini heat wave after several weeks of unusually cold weather to end May.

Sigh.

 

Another scorcher

And kilometres to walk

Before the sun's set

Upon the day.

As sweat pools

Around my body

In sticky wet clothes

And a mop

For hair.

Fragments of

Martha and the Vandal's song

Heat Wave

Swamp all other thoughts

From my fried mind.

Waiting for

That magical day

When my apartment's A/C is

Freed from its winter shackles

And turned on.

But today is

Just another day

As I try to finish

My running around

Before the sun reaches

Its zenith

In the late May sky.

After a month

Of unseasonably cold

And wet weather.

Such

Is Spring

For southern Ontario.

Never sure

How the weather will be

From one day

To the next.

As I bid adieu

To this fair month

On the calendar

For another year.
