Baked in the sun
Muddy banks exposed
Cracks forming
Like skin pulling away
From itself.
Low water islands
Invite long-legged birds
To forage in my wounds.
I am a parched lake
Baking in the sun,
But rain is in the forecast.

Parched
Baked in the sun
Muddy banks exposed
Cracks forming
Like skin pulling away
From itself.
Low water islands
Invite long-legged birds
To forage in my wounds.
I am a parched lake
Baking in the sun,
But rain is in the forecast.
