thirst
cracked earth
land dry
no wind blows
sun
rays beat down
still air covers me
taste of dust
sweat and long
days
sky shocking blue
has no end
clouds of dust
at my feet
legs
ache
from the walk
arms like lead
flat lands
ahead
morning comes
thirst
thirst
thirst
want the
taste
of cool
sweet water
quench parched lips
coolness on my
brow
rain
rain
from an empty sky
to fall on my
head
to run over me
a drop
two
more
sweet water
the taste of
it
i want to feel
no rest
no quench of thirst
body aches
no
peace
no quiet soul
desolate
of soft rain
soft winds find me
wandering feet
carry me
to distant mesas
what is
there
beyond that place
who waits for me there
in the valleys
on
the plains
and through mountains
moving on
walking
running
standing
wondering
how far is this place
tell me where it is
growing
tired
strife
some say
follow me
follow me
they say
tell me
straight
heart
plainly
I go
so
tired
so tired
come they say
come with us
we are like you
we
talk
the talk
we dance
we know you
we restore you
we save
you
we are you
you are nothing
without us
hollow songs
yellow eyes
broken words
crooked
talk
hidden hearts
strangers
in fine feathers
chanting noise
no
rainbows
heat waves
empty nights
faint
stars
emptiness
thirst
hunger
come
they
say
go on
go on
pass them by
thirst
thirst
dry lips
whisper
sweet
water
sweet water
where is
sweet water
