In honor of the Summer/June Solstice and Saint John's Day.

Irrelevant solstice in the tropics
The weather relents moist and warm
Scorched and brazed figures
Dripping sweat with parched throats
Yellow light of vicious wrath
Blurs sight and pulls salt
From both the body and mind
I do not wait for refreshment
I do not wait for heavenly delights
That come in cold brazen boxes
Irrelevant solstice celebrated
By hosts of the Beheaded wielding pails
Awaiting victims to be drenched
In a baptismal wash recalled
I do not wait for refreshment
I do not wait for any allusions
And take the barrels onto myself
Washing myself anew
Relevant in an irrelevant solstice
