Will
the monsoons ever come?
Will
we see the water
rush
and gush across the road?
Will
the cracks
in
the earth disappear?
Once
more?
Yes,
the monsoons will come
and
we will see water
rushing
and gushing
and
filling the cracks.
But
now it is summer,
and
the snake and tarantula
sleep
underground.
Now
you and I shall hike.
Here
is your backpack
and
your water bottle.
All
ready to go?
Walk
slow.
Shhhhhh.
