august 27.

it is so hot and still
and dry
this time of year is withering
for plants, the ground
my energy

the children wake up
she is demanding and somewhat
venomous
and my withered response
is not what she needs

this cycle
of lashing out
fierce defensive mean
will hopefully be shorter
than a texas summer rain.
