Delirium

Holy water

Water heals us

Water nourishes us

Water energises us

Water cleanses our minds, bodies and spirits

You ask me what’s my dream?

My dream is for everyone to have clean running water in the world

For free

Is it too much to ask?

Our number one most important medicine

Walking across the desert

With the penetrating sun

Beating down on me

The male energy

Bare feet on the sand

My skin is black

Delirius

Delirium

Latin tenses

Parched

Cracked lips

Dry hands

How can I hydrate you?

Pass through you

Keep swallowing

God’s medicine

The Yemen

They’re so tiny

The babies

They’re starving

I never use that word for myself

For in this life I have never starved

For you are hungry not starving

Rib cages staring at me

Anything to nourish you

Anything to heal you

ANYTHING
