Thirsty ground has become

Crispy stalks of breakable

Slices of deceased grass

 

Bright blooms have wilted

As parched petals surrender

Falling in finality

 

Dry gray stones revealed

The brook losing moisture

While gaining ground

 

Tall trees without care

Their penthouse leaves

Still luscious green

 

Frivolous humans

Watering their landscape

As though there is more
