the sun's heat buries the imaginationeyes shut tight avoiding
on the ground laying against its coolness
spoiled by mother nature...
heat filters through the water
fish swim down towards the bottom
away from anglers and heat
desperately looking for shade...
mountain streams that run cold
are now cooled and warmed,
trout float on the top like buoys,
conservationists know not what to do;
water flows inside the coolness
of the mental cave into which we
all have retreated... humbled by
our surroundings and the heat.
