Rehydration


I’d not known how thirsty I was
Till the first drops of rain
wet my parched lips

More drops fell..

I relished them

It then became a drizzle,
and I stood there
with my tongue hanging out

And as it rained more
my thirst grew
couldn’t be satisfied with
the heavens opening up for me

started lapping up the ditch water

When it felt full, pissed
…and drank again
Till I was no longer drinking
to quench my thirst…
But to forget the ecstasy of
the first drop
