Literature Text

Here,
the earth cracks like unpolished leather.

                  A woman sits nursing,
           (her life drying up like an ancient waterhole)
                and dreams of verdant green.
    
Spring, she reads in an old school book,
    is found in lands that have time to blossom,
             while she waits for the rain.
In some parts of the world, summer is not a blessing

In memory of long hot South African summers, waiting for the drought to break
