dry eyes to the skies
reservoirs itchy with weeds
rain a memory

Well done, as always, and I love that stockdalewolfe used the phrase “sense image” — because that’s exactly how you write – with imagery that wakes up our senses. Fabulous expression of a drought — both in nature and personally. đ Just love your writing Paul!
