today’s haiku ∙ collapsed ∙ under the weight ∙ of filled up moving trucks
overcast hot summer days ∙ leaves flutter ∙ in the sultry wind

Crack ed cement sidewalk ∙ roots of the tree-lined street ∙ claiming dominion

hot sumer days ∙ longing for winter snowstorms ∙ the taste of frosty air

cotton candy ∙ twilight skies ∙ icy berry drinks ∙ summer ∙ dressed in pink

SULTRY: of the air or weather — hot and humid
