The Burnout

I step out of my room
Fresh like a delicate bloom
Covered from top to toe
In the cotton and linen glow.

Its noon! The Sun has risen tall
And I resort to my parasol
Cursing the summer unfolding
Wiping away the sweat sighing.

As I slowly walk ahead
The Sun is blazing red and red
 I hear the concrete-mixer grind
Barefooted someone I find.

Dark, fragile, drenched in sweat
On the searing sand they are set.
I raise my canopy to peek out
And I see a fifty more burnout.
