Hollow Hope
A slight whiff of wind
Blew the last petal
off a solitary wildflower
Swirling through the air
It landed on a crack
In the dried river bed
...
A displaced grey dragonfly
Sniffed the hollow wind
For a sign of a distant shower
Neither did it found any
Nor did it have the strength
To chase one he might have.
