Heat
Helios grandiose
Eternal flame
Anthropomorphic age disdain
Tinderbox is thine country torn asunder
Hate
Hard landing, cement
Another blow, baton, blood, screams for streaming
Tick seconds — sent
Enough injustice to go ‘round
Hope
Holding our First Amendment’s line
Opening doors for us and washing our eyes
People, roots entwined
Ever steadfast
