My dry mouth
Longs to be quenched.
To unstick the sticking
In my fleshed mouth.
.
A pungent fruit would do me good.
An off-orange orb of natural extract;
Tarted juice of sugar so pure.
.
I can just taste it
Souring my watered tongue.
.
For I could just clench my fist
And liquid sun
Would faucet to my lips,
Running down my neck,
Staining my faded white shirt.
.
For the tears of my brow
Would sweat honey
And the bees would nest upon my hair.
.
I wish to be
The sweet nature
Of everything good.
