brain is melting in the heat
2026, feb 18, gadigal, newtown
feet carry their body without sense nor reason
through the heat
the heat that slams from asphalt into air
and from sky onto the head
the head that is dripping with sweat
skin layers are burning
from a shop door cool air sloshes out
feet come to a stop
brain already half melted
lets itself cool down in shop air
sits down on a shelf
between cans and ice.
