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
