Memory bubbles
burst like bullets
deafening impact
a physical blow
Oh, tangy sweetness
a time half forgotten
a drop of water
in the desert
Gnawing deprivation
moments that intensify
the awareness of need
thirst unquenched
A heart that’s parched
a decade’s drought
doomed to wait for rain
indefinitely
A love affair
of licking wounds
the stinging satisfaction
of looking back
