Watering Hole


We all need a watering hole

bug or beast,

fish or fowl,

mammal or mayfly,

we all need it

sometimes.

Sometimes

our eyes can catch sight of it

in the deserty distance

and sometimes 

it’s close,

so close

but we’re on the wrong side

of the water splattered glass

looking out

useless

so useless

we can only see it

only cry tears 

cry out for help.

Will anyone help?

Yes or no?

We can only hope,

hope that the ayes will have it,

otherwise the eyes are all there are

and only wet enough for the lucky little ones.
