102 in the shade
dark shadows are my favorite
black heat rises to the surface
spilling pungent lava floes
along the sable beach.
Shades in perpendicular lines fail
not knowing up from down, inside or out
just more brag than fact, when reality
knocks skin, they fall short of the goal.
Still, I know she will come
as surely as the sun rises and sets
she will come and we will submit to the whirlwind.
Dead heat phenomena will rise
again to the task before
deep magma stirs beneath
the earth's crust.
Inside.
