Jessica's writing prompt

1. How's the whether inside.

I just turned 49 at the beginning of the week
I started menopause when I turned 40
The whether is hot
Hot flashes
Hot spells
Hot summers
It is hot
It is hot
Makes me want to cuss sometimes
Like damn it's hot in here
Who cut off the fucking ac
It's hot hot
Like makes me remember to pray
For patience
For love
For peace
For soft kisses
Because who has time for a hot and sweaty body all over me these days
I carry around a big fan
A big red fan with yellow feathers
It's hot
It's hot
But this heat inside me will not kill me
Will not burn me
I will live
Even with this heat
Even with my body burning like building on fire
I will live
