water in an irregular triangle

hands covered with dirt

on the palms and its surface

under the nails

fingertips scratched

swelling hands in repetitive action


the wells are dried

12 foot, 16 and a 21

sources to be picked - not traceable 

with bare hands he never stopped

in desperation, he panicked 

not possibly drilled 

we all knew

but he continued

all that he is capable of



hands covered with dirt

dig to anticipate

water source, or to bury

the exhausted mind cannot tell

the action never stops



he should hope, he should jump

he shall not stop digging

irregularly, non-chronologically
