104°. (Ljidol wheel of chaos week 2)

                 104*

it's 104 degrees on my naked body
if it's any consolation
         they say
it's a dry heat
but 100 is a 100 is a 100
and heat is hot

a cool mist sprays fine water droplets
occasionally covering me

i read poolside
my kindle my friend 
                                         amongst strangers
my husband my love 
                                          amongst newness
how do you make friends at a nudist resort
and i wonder
         if i want to
we are here to be us
we are here to relax
we are not looking for the insundry
the un.... sanitary

not this time
not today

but it's a dry heat
                        (they say)
        and i wonder
         what fever dreams connect here
         i wonder
         if my skin reddens
         because it sees the sun
         or because eyes see me

if it's any consolation
         they say
it's a dry heat

        perhaps,
                              i won't get wet 
                                                             after all

I really liked this. The it's a dry heat thing - We were in AZ last year at this time and it was brutal, dry heat or not. 104 is too much for me. We have talked about going to a nudist resort but I am never sure how I would actually feel about that.

i mean, humid is def way worse, don't get me wrong, i'm from the north east.... but when you get to a certain temp it's just fucking hot!
