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
