Swelters

after the splice

when the temperature's nice

after the patch

when everything's a match

after the patch

after the edit

when it's had time to set

when it's smooth

then it's time to move

when it is smooth

go consult your elders

look into the thatch

any day that swelters

there's still some shelter

beneath the hatch

go consult your elders

look into the thatch

any day that swelters

there's still some shelter

beneath the hatch

after the cool

when it's wound on the spool

when it's spent

you're rarely glad it went

when it is spent
