Lull
My glass is lukewarm. The condensation has pooled
and puddled and made my newspaper
damp. Instead of deep amber the drink is now a
taupe wash and tastes of water that remembers
something else. The kind of flavor that makes your
lips curl.
My skin waits for the breeze, but it is gone with
morning, stagnating into day, glancing vaguely,
aristocratically, toward a night that will lay on the tongue like a
hangover. We will get sick with
malaise.
And our cities will be buried in the sand.
