A Hungered In the Desert---

a hungered in the desert---


As  I walk  on this open rugged terrain
Thirst bites me on the back of my throat
Can't shallow  it hurts stopped by the milky-way
Cut open a cactus spray drops of honey flowing
while white glistering juices fall down my chin
Eyes blink and and wave and sparkle at the new horizon
Can't mourn for no one 's died
Yet still thirsty I drink and guzzle the prize
Smack my lips drinking all of this 
No longer thirsty now I'm ravished
Stomach full of liquids now demanding solids
I burp and Belch! Now I'm sober
Ready to eat moon rocks PoP!  PoP, PoP!
Still walking this rough terrain
Lungs and brain full of dust of the land 
Can't shallow it hurts from eating moon dust and rocks 
Eyes hurt too, burning itching wish it would stop
Eyes blink and wave and sparkle at the new horizon 
Can't mourn for no one cries
Yet still thirsty I drink and guzzle the prize
no longer a hungered in the desert
