Muggy (ghazal)

To some, humidity stifles their airway
preferring to lay around in dry heat without the sticky moisture

To those who have lived in air void of rampant amounts of water
gulping in thick air and constantly feeling wet to the touch, are no fans of moisture

Some women complain about frizzy hair or curls falling out
while children would rather sit inside with AC instead of Moisture.

But to me, I feel stifled in dry heat and my skin cracks.
My body craves water, longing for air that brings my lungs moisture

Smothering air wraps its arm around me each time I step off the plane,
Splashing my face with the essence of home: moisture.
