~The hot summers that make my skin sizzle
With the sun that exposes the melanin under the melanin
Windows down, AC on, an ice cold sweet tea

the tools that wage war against the heat
It's only in this battle that I feel alive~

The weight of 1000 suns reduces me to ash

I am nothing

Twisting and morphing.

Until we succumb to the sweet vitriol.

Enraged fire 
replaces the
sleeping snow.

You are finally se...
