last one stretched 94 – 98
disillusioned after an 89 - 94
glimpse of the word scene
took a much needed break

vacationing in Death Valley
on any given day
no water from the sky
except an occasional drop

you get tired of tasting sand
on your lips
and grit in the mouth
no other place to look but

down down down
there’s H2O
in the ground
said the spiritual muse

a trickle or a gusher
depends on how hard
you’re willing to dig though
the best is when you’re hit
from above and below
