Humid Hangover

This humid blanket,
the fever it gifts,
​is all ​I can muse on,
​and scribble on the wet floor.

The rain stopped last night,
the songs this morning,
and the still air offers​ a wry smile​;
it tells me of today,
yet yanks me into timelessness,
where it shows​​
in infinite ways, love​...​​
​A few drops touch me,
others ​kiss ​the leaves 
and ​rusty ​park benches;
soothing them first,
drowning them later.
