Scotland's Heatwave

This has just been published in an anthology called "A Book of Dreams"  will update details as and when I get them.  Enjoy.

Dishevelled by the sheer numbers

Faces shining from the heat

Of all the other shining faces

We multiply the temperature

With gasped hellos

All gulping at the thick humid

Vapours, guzzling down a drink

Or maybe escape with a smoker

We look for a solution

To cool outside

Disappointed by the fiery

Clouds retaining clammy

Low pressure systems broiling

We wither under heavy skies

And cannot sleep
