Outside the world holds itself

in the stillness of summer 

 while the sky hinges just a little

enough to smudge the landscape

with this blazing effusion.

Outside commuters seek shade

in old deserted shops.

Conversations meet abrupt ends

eyes grow drowsy , tired of vision.

The soda boy cuts through ice

dropping cubes in plastic cups

while kitchen sounds merge 

in the silence of sounds.

The newly arrived man in town

meditates of other cities 

and lost lovers, half asleep.

In another room

a mother lulls to sleep her child

who is yet to know his place

in a hallucinating universe.
