Mirage
There it is,
Shining like diamonds,
Glistening like dew
In the morning light.
I use the last of my strength to crawl to it,
Stand up tall,
Straighten my tattered dress.
I do my best
To approach this oasis
As though I don’t need it.
I don’t gulp it down,
This cool blue water,
This lavish liquid
Shimmering beneath the noonday sun.
No, I don’t gulp it down.
Instead, I muster the last fragments of my fading will.
I take a long, slow drink.
And, for one solitary moment,
Relief!
And then,
The grainy dryness of the desert sand,
Soaking up the last remnants of moisture.
My parched pallet
Renders the last droplets of hope.
Now I am choking
On my fantasy,
Literally asphyxiating.
Another mirage!
