after watering

an urban tree

does send good vibes

the rain

after the drought

will people know

that this very rain

saved them

and will people

trust these trees

their thing

with this rain

small waffles 

in a plastic container

we'll watch him

it's summer

after all

poem

the time of the year 

for vine-ripened tomatoes

cucumbers and melons

women leave hair salons

and the high bills give them

a feeling of confidence

they'll cut the tomatoes

with their sharp knives

they'll find words

if someone wants 

to argue with them

(AW, July 2026)

 

haiku

the intense heat

now 4 days ago

still tired from it

(AW, July 2026)

 

poem

a nearly treeless area

the smell of melting asphalt

decisions of the past

now our curse and sorrow

I have to say that people

are aged in this week

with extreme heat

and they hate wrinkles

well solutions are needed

soon a new moisturizer

will be in the offer

(AW, June 2026)

38 C today

June 26, 2026

chosen for weddings 

across the country

dreams about 

a bucket with water 

under the table

poem

a conference room

with air con

so no need

to take off the ties

narrow lips

the utmost discretion

in tailor-made suits

possibly it would be

too cold for women

in sleeveless dresses

but they are

elsewhere

(AW, June 2026)

these small solar

for the elves' dance

at night

while people

meet dragons

in their dreams

mid of June

a thistle in a pot

keeps growing

poem

summer heat 

some long for it

they really do

some try 

a kind of voodoo

to stop the start

and in this battle

one needs

a lot of

needles

(AW, June 2026)
