the frogs are quiet



The frogs are quiet
Suddenly so still in the hot sun
They can't find the words
Croaking out in the light

The temperature soaring
It burns the skin outright
Those who have sensitive skin
The sunlight will penetrate it

In the garden
The frogs all disappeared
Once during rainy season
Many jumping about

Now the frogs are quiet
They have nothing to defend
Monies seem to dry up
They are keeping stock

The Aedes mosquitoes breed
Even with little water
The frogs never come at night
So the flying suckers have a free run

The frogs are lying low
They stay quiet for now
Too much heat from the sun
They find no voice to say
