Drought VI
She only breathes when it rains
And it hadn't rained in years
Like being punched in the stomach
Never to catch your-He envelopes and intertwines
Accumulating in the air
To settle as dew
If the ground was fertileShe only breathes when it rains
He on the fertile plains
A hand swimming in the air

Drought V
Don't you for a second think

Oh stoicismThings change
Oh pragmatism -

As walking in the rainI like this
Something about living your life one way

Phantom Limb Memories
I grin when I think about it

Alternating between
Desperately seeking sources of income
And indulging in unhinged sex

And now I smile to myself
Like someone in a coffee commercial
Before you change the channel
And the memory is gone
To return when the synapse fires
When I need that limb -
Monetary
Every staunch idealist
Has to cower in front
Of a monetary unit
A clutch of survival
Even myself
