Still

~~~




Born of drought
the primer pail liens
the primate pump.

The aquifer wrestles,
curses restraint
of leather
locked deep
rock.

Still…
nurture taps…
pushes, breathes
breaches,
gushes,
defies,
caresses cracks -
chides tenderly…

…cries.

acquiescence, fatigue -

once again leads
“…beside the still waters.”

    This is pretty emotional and reads like a rant. Fantastic vocabulary.

    Love.
