Still Life

The heat that engulfs the surface on this part of the Earth these days,

Leave life still,

With no breeze,

No air circulating through,

Not letting a single leaf move,

Just straight up sun sucking everything from here,

A single curtain sways in the windows,

A piece of trash rustle in the corner of the road,

Bringing life at stand still,

No movement,

No flow,

No rhythm,

Life, still,

In the heat.
