Burning Blue

Burning Blue

Flames lick my palm
Dance upon flickering light

Sweat builds up on my brow
As I push the plough

Digging  down to my essence
Pull back the shade

Hear barks in the distance
In the in between I observed

Glaciers melting
RIse the sea

Look at me
No look at me

Puddles forming
Below the corncob pipe

Magnify a fly
Or magnify a human

Temp rising
Dehydrate drink some water

Basin is drying up
In a desert of thirsty beings

Ration what is left
Millions more moving in

Dry dust from a turnip
Choking back human dust
