Parched, June 8 2019



The Sunday Muse #59
Photography by Carlo Pautasso


In the midday sun
I relish the glow
Thriving on your wetness

By evenings direct light
I curl and wither
Parched by the sun

My pot is drained
Drained of moisture

Weakened by your strength
To let live or to banish
I reach to embrace
The cool feel of you
Clear
Liquid
Agua

It is you alone
That I now desire

    Love the way the day moves through this & the exhausted desire at the end.

    This photo reminds me, when my grandma was dying, of her long finger pointing to the glass of water on her bedside table.

      I'm sorry for your loss and I hope that there are other fond memories to warm your heart.

    Beautiful and pleading perspective of a flower. This is poignant and lovely Regina. 🌷
