Mango aroma and green flies
Sweltering summer’s thawing smiles
Liquid fire flowing through kyles
We slowly melt as winter dies
Nightly fragrance of white bloom flies
Riding the crest of wind for miles
Mango aroma and green flies
Sweltering summer’s thawing smiles
Disgruntled humans supine lie
Prickly heat’s torture making all rile
Poor sun turns up as the most vile
The loo’s* made of sapiens’ sigh
Liquid fire flowing through kyles
We slowly melt as winter dies
* The Loo (Hindi: लू, Urdu: لو, Punjabi: ਲੂ) is a strong, hot and dry summer afternoon wind from the west which blows over the western Indo-Gangetic Plain region of North
India and Pakistan.[1] It is especially strong in the months of May and June. Due to
its very high temperatures (45 °C–50 °C or 115°F-120°F), exposure to
it often leads to fatal heatstrokes. Source: Wikipedia
