Nothing grows here
October 2, 2013
nothing grows here
it is
empty
trees ran away
many years ago
water is
afraid to fall
shrubs are
lonely
snakes slither
jack rabbits hop
lizards crawl
trying to get out
but never find the end
death surrounds
no water
no liffe
rocks untouched
for hundreds of years
families
do not move here
children
do not play here
sunrise
sunset
day by day
month by month
year by year
nothing grows here
