Heat Has Arrived

Finally the heat has arrived Making deep furrows across The farmers forehead deeper Even sweat drops can't escape From their depth; the stray Dogs have started to hang their Tongues to get respite from the Hot wind. They feel tired all the Time and lay in a side under trees And hedges. School returning kids Sometimes throw stones at them. But they won't get up; give a Whimper and close their eyes. Finally the heat has arrived. It sucks up colors and nectar from Flowers and let them droop before Afternoon. The bees being hungry Whine sitting in the shadow of Leaves. There is a silence all Around the land after the cracklings Of firewood died inside the huts.
