Parched–
More than the split lips
And the lumpy throat
It’s the clawing emptiness

If you are dying from thirst
You’ll drink anything

Love’s like that too
We beg for plastic bottles
Instead of digging our well deep

If I go deep enough
Beneath the heart
I’ll never be thirsty again

With Love,

Natalie
