drought

[billy]

v. 5 trying to scale down some of the imagery


drought update

by the time the weatherman

delves into the week ahead

and finds the clouds

hollow again

the sky has lost

its mature charm this is my only nit, and it is only a nit

days pass away

to a ceremony

of sunlight

birdsong and

empty bouquets

flowers have lost their thirst

trees their weight

earth its roots

dust its chains

the nit, would
that mature charm be more coherent?
i really like where this has gone. the spacing and lack of grammar works really
