Anna Couani #14 a feeling of heat

hot dark night
at the waterfront
people in singlets
young people
standing with
bottles of beer
dogs panting

under the street lights
the grass pulses
with yellow heat
over the Pyrmont hill
fireworks
from Darling Harbour
just visible
turn the water red

just audible are
the sounds of
the party boat
contained excitement

all this
creating the sensation 

of heat
