A BODY FEELS (The Heat) - First Draft


A BODY FEELS (THE HEAT)

Each footstep jolts
the ankle, knee and hip
provokes a frank response
to the humid heat

Today the weariness
extends its reach
beyond the old
familiar aches and pains

Almost as if each limb
and digit has undergone
some sauna torture.
As irritated bowel

And subservient colon
conspire against the bladders need -
bladder reciprocates the deed
and every oozing pore

Screams out for mercy




Malcolm Evison –
first hasty draft 18.50 -  23 July 2018
