Dream of a Spring

Missing image

 

~~~~~

 

 

My throat is so dry
I can’t even sing
and my lips are cracked
from the heat

What a tiresome
drought
of easy breezes
and evaporated sweat

I want to feel the rush
of the gush
exploding from the mouth
of a deep dark cave
underground
where blind-sighted ambitions
rise to the surface

But there’s just this bit of spit
danging on the end of my tongue
and weaving itself into the background
