the morning after

The morning after
These words seep into my mind
Before I leave my bed
Or head to the bathroom

Rain has ruined this week
My plants are drowning
The yard is a soggy, mushy swamp
April has never been this angry

My mood is dour
I stare at myself in the mirror
I repeat the words I heard upon awakening
The morning after

My toothbrush falls off the sink
Great start to another rainy dreary day
My attitude rolls her eyes
