Praying for Rain

whatever happened to the mirage that made us feel as if safety was over a hill

the hot sun beating down upon our brows without any thoughts of old maliciousness

water filled our minds with such thirst, but our dry cheeks were like colanders

instead, we will wither like roses far from anyone’s cascading care, praying for rain
