drawing from the well of life
dustybottoms

clicking the crimson shoes together brought her home to my front porch.
 1
the doormat welcomes Dorothy, the doorbell calls to her;
 2
our eyes meet, our smiles parallel, our hands embrace.
 3
the sprint towards the wheat field is without purpose-
 4
we make crop circles of our own.
 5
the reeds crumble under red storms, thundering at a running pace.
 6
a dot in the distance neared with our bounds,
 7
the thirsty oasis draws nigh!
 8
the well, overwhelmed with the living liquid, beckoned our visitation, our knowledge.
 9
hands depart uniformly, eyes too scared to close.
 10
the body floats, separating from the clothes, the walls, the warmth.
