Tracing Rivers
Your frailness
The veins, thin filaments
Visible
Just under the surface
I trace with light touch
Three rivers
As if faintest pressure
Might stop the flow
Did you know
Some cacti
Survive years
Without water?
Have adapted
To rainlessness.
Still bloom.
But you?
It has been years.
Would anything
Be better
Easier
Than this?
Even drought?
