got that smother
sensation
& everything i touch
feels dirty cos it’s
all too hot. even
with bare feet i
can’t breathe. my
jeans suffocate
calves & thighs &
i am ready for my skin
to split open like
a hot vine tomato
too ripe, not picked
soon enough to keep
this heat from
tearing me open. or
me tearing me
open, just to
strip down after i’ve
stripped down to
last layers & still got
that squalid sweat sense
of fraying at all my dry
ends & ready to
catch fire.
