Summer, Written 5/31/2011

Summer


soliciting an escape
somewhere within the deep south
where sweat sprouting humidity
threatens to drown me out
oppressing ever present heat
cause me to hallucinate
make my heart strain to beat
sticky hot sun sink through my skin
heating my very center
so that the stress will wear thin
let sweet release relinquish me here
saving me 
from my now feather-light fears
summer fills my wings with flight
cuts loose my ankle anchors
and sweeps away the clouds for sight
