O wind, rend open the heat,
cut apart the heat,
rend it to tatters.
Fruit cannot drop
Through this thick air-
fruit cannot fall into heat
that presses up and blunts
the points of pears
and rounds the grapes.
Cut the heat-
plough through it,
turning it on either side
of your path.

somebody turned off the attic fan, I didn't notice until a few minutes ago, and the house is like an oven. grrr.
