Thirst

This week's One Single Impression prompt was "Thirst". Here are a couple of takes...

Summer's end

Dry ghosts whispering
through tall yellowing tassels
of late summer corn


Parched

loneliness baking
cracks deep into my landscape.
i persist here, parched

The promise of the rains compells us to fight our thirst.
