I'm wilting
My spine tired and knotted
Sinews shriveled and dry
Left to dissolve on a hill of green
As the wind huffs and puffs me
Onto an empty highway
I am weak and complacent
Bending with short gusts of sky
A limp child caught in a pit of moshing bodies
A piece of sand in an ocean tide
I've been waiting for revival
Someone with cool, dewed lips to wake me
From an arid slumber
But here I stay
Writhing aside an abandoned highway
Straining for a glimpse of moisture
