~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~The sun has devoured ~~~~~~~~~~~~

 ~~~~~~~~ everything,~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~

~~~~~~~~except these drills~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~that throb ~~~~

                 ~~~~in the cracked earth, buzzing like a flame~~~

                              ~~~   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~   ~~~~~

                            ~~~~Crushing and grinding,~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

                      ~~~ with the rhythm  ~~~~ of hot fists ~~~~ falling from~~

                                ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ the sky.~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~

  ~~~~~~~~~ Crushing and grinding,~~~~~~~~ ~~~

              ~~ it feels like a dance~~ of this Earth~~~

      ~~~  soil with a migraine.~~

           ~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~

                                  ~~~~~~~~~~My waves,~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~

       ~~~~~warm muscles ~~~~~~ arms now weary,~~~~

              ~~  ~~~~~~  ~~turned~~~~~ into saliva.~~~~

                            ~    ~~~With~~~~~ this~~~~ blanket~~~~~~~~

~~~~I clothe~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ myself~~~

                                  ~~~~~in winter~~~~and the fever lifts me~~~~

        ~~~~~~~~~towards the warmth.~~     ~~~~~~

                              ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~

                              ~~  It distorts~~~the lines,~~~and the fabric forms

                                  new folds~~~~~in this house~~~~

                                ~~~~~~~~~~~of water~~~~~~~

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~

~~~where~~~~no one lives anymore.

                 ~~~~~~Inside me, no ~~~one~~~ walks,~~

~~~~~~and necton and~~~plankton~~~

  ~~~~~~~no longer~~~~~~~~~

           ~~~~~~tickle me,~~~. ~~~~~

             ~~ ~~ and I ~~~~ ~~

                 ~~~~under the sun~~~~~~~

   ~~~burn dead. ~~~~~~

~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~

                          ~~~~~~~~~~~~~Sweat~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~ still,~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~~~

                            ~~~~~~~like a beast~~~~~~ in its lair~~~~~~~~~

 ~~~~~~~awaits the command~~~ ~~~~

                                        ~~~~~of those~~~~~ ~~~~~~~

                                            ~~~who live under the sun.~~~ ~~~~

        ~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~

                                  ~~~ ~~~~~If everything burns,~~~~ ~~~

 ~~~~~~~~~even my waves burn~~~ ~~~~~

                                ~~~~and my forehead ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ sweats mucilage.

     ~~~~~If everything burns,~~~~~even the iron

~~~~of scaffolding changes temperature,~~

~~~but does not~~~ ~~~~~sweat.~~~

 ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~

               ~~~If everything burns ~~ ~~~

~palms~~~~~~~feet~~~~~~~

         ~~~~~~~~ and armpits~~~~

       ~~~are the first signs~~~~ ~~

           ~~~of the animal~~roaming

~~ the body~~~~~~~

    ~~~ in the form of tears~~

             ~~that taste of salt,~~~

        ~~that are mine~~
