to wring a dry cloth / on cracked soil / under the ablaze sun.
to wring a dry cloth
on cracked soil
under the ablaze sun.
to drink water from
the dead sea
under the mute night.
to wrestle a child,
parched, famished,
deserted on the streets.
to dangle carrots
miles away
from a restful stable.
tread softly, please.
there is nothing left to give.
