Bones

A sea of heat seeps into the bones of the nation.
The national marrow eases its frustration.

White mineral tightens, hardens as muscle memory awakens summer sepia tinged trees and breezes.

Heads are out of cars as the baked landscape gives up its scents of yesterdays.

A sea of heat seeps into the bones of the nation.
The national marrow drowns in perspiration.

Breathe the health of balmy air tinged with flavours of foreign noises.

Little red and white flags are raised, immune to winter regret and anaemic excuses.

A sea of heat seeps into the bones of the nation.
The national marrow widens in anticipation.
