weather report

you're never really sure
when
the temperature rises.

it's too late
when
you are bathing
in your own sweat.

the a/c unit hanging in the window
is only enough to cool
the room it rescues.

heat makes steam
and this entire city
is choking
on the haze.

a hangover doesn't help,
but you believe
that the alcohol
from last night
is finally trying to escape
your skin.

you take a cold shower
but really
it's just an aspiran
that eventually goes
away.

even the streets
have been stripped of people
due
to the weather,

yet
it's a fine excuse
to forget the glow
of her face
that has
melted holes in you.
