Almost dead
fewer grains
fewest grabs
learn your trade
you had to save her back
given the gift
to return the favor
After leaving a few socks
alongside your kids
forgotten in dresser drawers
Plays out on the desert stage
Peaches have gone out of season
think of your affair
you can’t dig sand, baby
you can’t touch a cactus
you won’t see water or roots
and water won’t see you
But the children knew
you idiots,
the children knew
