Heatwave
Record highs
Even iguanas hide
I watch a lizard crawl along the patio
Not sure if he will make it to the other side
Dry bird trays
I need to fill them with water
I’m worn out
Breakers trip
Too much of an electricity load
Missus leaning on kitchen counter
She wipes sweat from her forehead
Heatwave
Record highs
No place to hide
