december 18
-
today, the sky
tried to drown us all
forty-two years of famine
has left the country parched,
the ground is thirsty
mouth overflowing,
the clouds pour her more
than she can take.
streets flooded, the city
is a woman pregnant,
two weeks over due,
swollen
but hopeful.
i go to sleep
and dream of swimming
through deep water.
