It is summer again and I am thinking about…
100 days are in a year
100 minutes in a second
100 cracks bred by the sun
that forces the gap between.
100 yesterdays flee away
100 things no longer done
100 ways to go around
100 ways that fail.
100 fires surround the town
100 letters that are written
to the ones behind the gap between
100 post offices recall the mail
100 beams from the sun are sent
100 fires smothered by its heat
100 barren trees
100 people left in the dark
100 people craving normalcy
walking their dogs
at midnight.
100 shoes that do not fit
100 papers shoved to force a fit
100 paper cuts
100 drops of blood
100 scabs are formed
100 scabs then picked
100 infections breed inside
broken skin
100 people now walk on stumps
100 times stronger goes the sun
100 nights no longer set.
100 days are in this year
because it is summer again
and it is all consuming.
