   Dog Days
The windless streets
Throb with sultry haze.
In stuffy rooms, in lifts and cars
We fight the discomfort
Of July weather.

We see no reason
To change our pace
Instead are annoyed
At this impertinent heat.

The sun is standing
In a cloudless sky
And the air quivers silently.
The birds in trees
The frogs in ponds
Accept the restful heat
And wait for the cool of evening
Before raising their voice.
