inhale, exhale,
inhale, take the slack, and lift
personal best

sweat drips, sheets cling
the heat of the night, too high
unbearable

petrichor, lingers
wet concrete, dry air
a storm has passed

cloudless sky, blue
a warm breeze, a gentle touch
summer’s first day

plump damsons, sweet jam
a cooling yoghurt to mix
summer breakfast
