A fleeting moment of time when the day is too hot but the air is cooled by shade and the stillness broken only by the oscillation of an over-used fan that clicks as it sweeps back and forth in the soft glow.
Absent is the lulling swarm of the cicada drowning out the persistent reverberations of a heart pounding wild, un-rythmic and breaths, shallow, laboring to find its depth.
