Here's an (old) poem for your viewing pleasure:
Heat Wave in Rural Missouri
The sun burns sagging porches,
bleaching petunias and salvia.
The afternoon gasps its last.
From my window, nothing stirs –
I alone live, breathe.
Swooning,
I spy you strolling through a deluge of rain,
bearing me pansies and muguet,
your bowler and grey linen suit still crisp,
the last mirage before I fade –
Knowing I exaggerate, and my demise
is not imminent in this air-cooled room
does not detract from my reverie.
