summer is
a cloud drifting
through my home
summer lifts itself
into my vision
summer asphyxiates me
and leaves me still
i can't put down the gloves
i can't spit out the mouthguard
i rest in a bed of fire
where i cook
every night
a tumultuous event is as simple
as anything
not during summer though
summer
is the horned and trident bearing
devil on my shoulder
distraction is my angel
anger isn't something
i enjoy harbouring
i hope you know that
i am not a walking firecracker
i am a bag of coals
writings of blues and pinks
can't cut me open
like they used to
my shirt is sticking to
my back
i can hear the timer ticking
i must run before
i blow
