Maggie Mae

groping in the light of day
it is so hot
humidity, heat, sun, burning light
too much
we all dream of cool days
warm nights
a light wind from the east
but this is a song
a poem
a prayer
prayer is the only sure thing in this desert
everything else is a mirage of ideas, dreams, confusion, hopes
i walked into the house for a glass of water
one of our cats, Maggie Mae,  jumped onto the couch
she kissed the crucifix Renee had just laid down, she really did,
this awoke my slumbering brain.
