Heat

Lately
I have been dreaming
repeatedly
of gentle rain
touching my body
still I wake up
to another blue sky, heavy sun
and dry mouth

I really like this!

The first five lines really drew me in, wanting to know how it all ended.

I do wonder if "another blue sky" might be left out?

Thank you Alan, I think you have a point there, it can be left out. I had a feeling that there was something, but I couldn't quite spot it.
