Salt taste's good
In a very dry mouth

But

It's sickening

It teases with a start of reassurance

It’s oh so hot in this writer’s loft
My words are dripping, sliding
The heat depletes every ounce of thought
and dehydrates my writing

This pen, it sweats every word it gets

A thirstless, prayerless soul, soon slowly dehydrates.
At first there is no notice, but as purer water taints,
the presence of our Lord is quenched, His image seems more faint.

Birdsong here
On yard ledge;
Blackbirds acapella

By this balcony
Glimpses of night skyline;
Starry intervention

Music floats
Ecstatic permutations;
Heart in-sync

Joy in the breeze 
Hope greets...

A grave wherein my body lie,
Pounds of flesh overwhelmed with flies.

In buzzes they siren their movement hence,
Though I lay still in cadaverous silence.

On I shrivel with skin pulled tight

Where hair...
