"IT’S HOT. The dog has thrown herself from the bed into a dramatic pile. She sighs and pants in her sleep, annoyed and restless. She is old and soft in the middle. We are kin. I have turned the thermostat to Frigidaire. The heat pump churns to cool us, the hum delivering me into the audio of a tractor in a distant field. The drone of disc and plow labor hard against cracked, dry earth and seething summer. The dust of the dream wakes me with a cough, and now my sleep can find no toehold."
