Salve, Weather, Dream


Rain is supposed to cool the temperature, make the weather more bearable. But it doesn’t. It stays hot and becomes more humid. Stepping out from air conditioned spaces instantly causes profuse sweating, soaking clothes.

There is no salve, no cure. Frequent showers help. Copious amounts of cold salted water helps. But nothing stops the damp heat from sucking my mind, leaving me feeling dull and drained.

I had a dream the other day, one that if I still ate carbohydrates, I might act on. Coconut ice cream carts promise cold and sweet, served on white bread covered in condensed milk.
