Rain
Cracked earth
Sunburnt country
Wind waves combed thru red sand
Empty desert
Lips bruised from untrue kisses
Skin tender due to the scorch of betrayal
Ears sound with liars' echoes
Barren heart
Deep below
cool and protected
in shells and seeds
life waits for rain
Down inside
quiet and untouched
in the calm core
love waits for tears
