Agony’s Dry Spell

the Word wears
nose and mouth
meaning mask

less it spread
or breathe in
woe’s poison

atmosphere
once there was
full of tears

all dried out
sand aura
current sense

dates from the
great drought age
when one stopped

drinking and
puttin’ on
the old style

no agony
approaches
nor reproaches.
