Dry Words

The bucket goes to the well yet again,
And draws up sand, gravel, and mud.
The mind, so crystalline and honed at times,
Sputters along on dusty, desiccant thoughts.
Aphasia sets in — and the way forward
Is a wind-swept place with sand storms
That sting the eye and pulverize the mind.
Keep digging along the vein.
You will find the source again.
It will not flow to you —
You must flow to it.
