Slow, Hot
Poetry inspired by Sergio Mendes

Waiting in the burning breeze neck slick rolling beads hot slow afternoon intrigue condensing in a yellow gold den you incensing my skin
Notes: When I dug Sergio Mendes & Brazil ’66 out of a crate, my mind was blown. Slow Hot Wind defines the sensuality of summer. It will also take you to paradise where a Bond villain is looming on the other side of the island.
“Slow Hot Wind” is beautifully enhanced by Thievery Corporation’s sampling in a lush version from the album Outernational Sound.
Written for the July Summer Music Challenge where I wrote a poem or story about bossa nova for 31 days. See below for all entries including Terry Barr’s 8 brilliant memoirs about summer and music:
