Thirst Paulann Petersen

 

Your eyes must stay open
to the color of flowers.
Wherever their bright flash
catches your gaze, water flows.

You see rain
days after it stopped raining.
In your breath, you taste
the river running underground.

from A Bride of Narrow Escape by Paulann Petersen
Cloudbank Books, 2006
