Dream: How is the Water?
My vapid hands grasp the bucket bellow me
In attempt to carry
Its weight.
I thrust the handle upward,
The bucket quakes with sympathy
for my poor excuse of strength.
In frustration,
I attempt again
But this time the bucket rattles from side to side
mocking me
while the ring of water
that lay comfortably
under the rusted steel edges,
saunters over the side
onto my bare feet.
My eyes peel open
In wonderment;
Was the water cold, hot
or just fine?
