Drought (In My Head)

Arid
Dry
Dusty
No clouds
No rain
Harsh sun
Harsher heat
Beat down
Bowed back
Sweat trickles

Mouth dry
Throat parched
Eyes waver
Sees
Trees
False hope
Just
A
Mirage

Cracks
Gouges
On land
On skin
World breaking
Man following
Jagged pieces
Scatter
Like sand
In the wind

Then

Silence
