the lingering taste of water in my mouth
golden grains lifted into the air
vainly i wade through to the nearest oasis
but my hands close on empty space
they fizzle away before my eyes
no one around for miles
only the sky hears me scream
cracks ripping in the membrane of my throat
body starts burning up
i try to catch the sweat droplets
but they slip through my shaking fingers
and are gobbled up by the greedy sand
i'm crawling now
delirious laughter bubbles up
i'm in so much pain that it's funny
hysteria possess my brain
my breath is shot my lungs feel ripped
to shreds i can hardly think straight now
everything burns and stings and bleeds and i need water so badly where are my loved ones i hope they dont miss me too much
a body collapses, never to get up again.
