Sun parched

And sallow

The dry grass

Sways in

Patient cadence,

Rustles like

Laughter,

Asks for nothing,

Waits for rain.

I wait for you

In this way,

Full of quiet

Longing,

Bent toward

The earth

In supplication.

You take this imagery from current environment in a too hot summer, I take it, nostr:npub1dsdgn279kkzrmuxxq2v686l26k8u97hjkve342zlpqcfsqk4xtpstkl2mp ?

I take it that the "supplication" also mirrors the bending of the grass, and what is sought is refreshment, something life affirming.
