Our third day beneath the heat dome
We are being baked like sandstone
Triple digit heat scorches
The sun throws flaming torches
Each ray jabs with fiery stingers
Stifling humidity lingers
Daytime sees 110°F
The night oppressed by 87°F
This heat wave from South to East Coast
An iron pressed to us from a ghost
We are trapped and bathed in sweat
Knowingly yoked to a hot threat
