scirocco

September evening

heavy clouds rumble
citronella candles gutter
mosquitoes whine
sweat prickles

Scirocco

from southeast horizon no air stirs
on the darkest sea clouds foam
thin cotton clings to skin
thoughts refuse to fly

The wind has shifted

The wind has shifted to the south. In the air desert dust drifts; jellyfish tint the greasy sea pink. He knows he should not jump.
