Wind is in the humid air.
Summer’s in the season’s slew.
A witch’s brew with dimpled clouds,
A mountain stew with summer’s peaks.

In the hills the air stirs chills.
In the city the dead air’s tomb-trapped still.
Time is ripe for summer’s air
Beneath the tunnels of Manhattan squares.

Construction splinters morning peace;
There is no one at ease.
I dash to dodge the crew—
I screw to hear the neighbor’s tunes.

Tonight I will have your liquor.
I’ll drink a shot and listen to silly songs.
The jazz from below the street will rise;
It’s witchcraft and summer’s in the air.
