Moscow Heat Wave






The way the light plays off the cup,
White and heavy, against the grit
Of 33 in a Moscow outdoor cafe,

The trees look green, against
My beter judgement
And the sky: an
Aching indistinct haze

The sun rolls heat
Over sponsored awnings, dust,
Sweat glands and peroxide
And the mashed-up cranberries
Taste of ice
