Enduring heat wave in city poem 2005ish

August heat probe
         delves deep into
              molasses brain drool
                  frying the thought think
                       with minced earth, snail pathed
concrete dreams that absorb thermal curse and exude,  with icy indifference,
the swallowed skyfire all the night through.

Even prisoners deep in the cruelest dungeons
feel the slightest touch of joy
when those black-hooded fellows ease up on
the rack handle.
