My throat is dry a desert I roam

My throat is dry, a desert I roam,

a crumpled bottle, a vessel not home.

Caught in heatwaves, the sun burns away,

a thirst so deep, it begs me to stay.


With every sip gone, what do I seek?

Dust in my lungs, words begin to peak.

Lingering questions hover like fog,

yet all I can taste is the air, the smog.
