with air so dry, the sun boldly flaming, torching, and cracking Earth.
this temperature only increased
by the beating hearts and the flowing sweat of people fleeing.
this temperature raised more
by the bullets shot,
to bring them back, to tie them to this smoldering rock.
devils pass on leaving a wake of fire. and among the fallen sits a boy alive, at 103º with air so dry your tears evaporate, why bother to cry.
