After the mourning of the beasts until proven ghost,
The guilty until proven dead,
After the mindless melanin wars
Air hot like an oven-
a sticky kind of hot.
The terms "humid" and "muggy"
to be used liberally
for the entire season.
The summer marked by
bags of Spitz and glasses of tea.
I have been blinded from the things around me
from all the struggles that I couldn't see
Water and boundries kept me from these
Open your mouths; let the truth be free
