Verse: close

swept up in
a concrete wave

the wind
feels like sweat

and everyone
is stuck together

moving slow and
winding like serpents

the buildings
seem to sway like sycamores

and the sun
is swimming naked

in that
big blue sky

because it's too warm
to wear a cloud

and i am
amid the humid

searching for relief
for you

i know that
you are close

because i can taste
your breath

like spearmint
in my mouth

i can feel
your cool grip

tighten
on my heart.
