Ode to the sea, Mermaid, street art, Cetraro. I took the picture

It is so hot here:

skin pulls

as a felted pullover

and screeches

as an hand over sandpaper.

It is so hot here:

head

is wrapped into

a balloon

without any shape,

thoughts are liquid and dense

as melted steel.

It is so hot here:

sweat waters down pores

with a fatty patina

as seal skin.

It is so hot here:

air conditioning

bites into

every part of the body

as the bit of

a stray dog,

shameless.
