Glisten in the Night
sweat beads slide from forehead to chin
drip from jawline to shoulder
trace a trajectory from upper arm to wrist
dive from fingers to splash on toes
this glistening body shines in lunar light
slumbers with interruption as fans whirr and hum
desperate to slice into the thick night

I missed this one.
That sounds absolutely miserable. I hate the heat trying to sleep.
But I liked the visual 😏
I know you Kentucky folks are used to the heat, and we are, too. However, when August heat and humidity slams into us in June, we struggle!
