High On Summer 

Heat sleeps under a shed.
Outside the shape of shade 
nothing can hide except 
the shadow of the self.

I wake up the heat, ask for 
an address in this office block.
He points towards the sky,
and it looks bleached version of it.

I hear footsteps on the pavement,
see no one. The process repeats,
and then I find my heart.
