Midday in the Canar

Wide sky, fiercely blue
in a bubble of midday heat.
Sun dead leaves dredged with dust
loosed from the tree
with the merest gasp of breeze.
Pale imitations of thistle
blanched near white
deflated in bone yard dirt.
Longing for the cool dark
where a body can open
to embrace the night air
with its soothing tendrils.
