Release

slow shivers run down my back
the cool air blowing gently steadily on me
has yet to lower my body temperature
the shivers still maintain their pace
inhaling deliberately
and forcing myself to exhale
beads of sweat run down
into my mouth
the water
the salty water
does nothing to aid in my thirst
while i am dehydrated
while i am being dehydrated
panting
my breaths shorten and quicken in pace
and then
after that inevitable moment
i exhale
for a minute or two
never inhaling...not once
the cool air blowing from my mouth
runs down his back
he shivers..."I thought you said were hot?"
