Numb Mondays of Rain

Oh, numb Mondays of soul! 
My head  reels on thuds of workload ‘s gong
these leaden files weigh on drooping arms 
as  pewter rainfall gushes along,
to jangle wired veins of  my frayed nerves:
here, stuffed hours ache for a  joyful trot--
oh, numb Mondays of soul!
Your drenched blossoms, they answer me not?

The train packs an array of wet caps                    
impoverished  shadows pleading rest,
more agitated than a gale's taps …
so I  run to find my own reprieve
trying to prance on evening's dewed beat;
oh, numb Mondays of soul!
Give me tunes, my hushaby’s  retreat.
