Lisbon heat
a trolley shivers
up and down the hill
Alfama heat
old flats congested
with migrants
Note: During my June trip to Portugal, the temperature there could reach as high as 40 °c. The Alfama is the oldest district of Lisbon, spreading on the slope between the São Jorge Castle and the Tejo river. It remains one of the most photogenic neighborhoods in all of Europe.

I would like to translate this poem
Lisbon heat, and your feeling sir. I see.
