Desert's Throat

The Terra look quizzically at the slow moving

sky castles going upward to their positions

as they leave the Terra's view

Coughing is heard coming from the dirt

causing dust to blow into the air

The Terra looks into the Desert's Throat and sees

its white and beginning to crack

It's parched with nothing to refresh it,

It continues to crack with no moisture

to heal it,

Deep down where the Terra's eyes cannot see

is where the tongue begs to be quenched before

it splits in two
