Waiting for the world

The heat of day drags on,
a sweltering unbecoming heart ache
that leaves my lungs breathless.
Such a dry, timid existence
That devours the moisture in the air.
It scrounges up every drop of vivacity
And signs my obituary prematurely
in permanent black ink.
The eulogy proclaims its love.
My sepulchre sings to the sun
And I lay under the apple tree
To rest there for eternity.
