Gillian Swain - #57 - Salt is not a season


we sweat like pigs 
(do they even?)   feel the entrapment
even auras pant   we sweat
salt is not a season
throat wants not heat on air
the supping was more than enough
after the first week of forty-plus   enough
was when the air stopped breathing
that pigeon won't leave her nest
she won't eat won't drink

must shield eggs   cooler to incubate
the night will have its calling
