Humidity.
It makes clothes stick to your back,
like a moth to light.
It makes you feel as if you've just run a mile,
while you've only walked to the kitchen & back.
When you're either sweating or panting
the clouds begin to darken,
becoming the color of an artist's palette gone wrong.
The sky brightens with lightning,
the clouds shake & boom,
& the rain drenches any unlucky soul below.
But with the crack of lightning & the rumble of thunder,
the humidity breaks
& the world feels much cooler.
