(This is an oldy but a goody.)

Lines of wire
crossed too many times
see
me I do

walk
the air is lashing
its blue tongue
on my
throat

the leaves slip
swelling waxy green
against my arm

the cars grind
shiny on the
road hot and hungry

the sun colours my face
wettens my skin
heat tendrils hazing
to gusts of
chill wind

the dewy colours
dream into the distance
snap proudly against the
foreground I
listen

Good visuals...I especially like the wind's blue tounge

Reading this was a sensory experience. I like your original use of words, "dewey colors, wettens". Enjoyed the feeling of this.

My friend - I always mean it when I say I like your distinctive style. (See you in the morning!) K
