Dry as a Bone
Dry as a Bone Sun bleaching bones to a brilliant white Carcass long gone In 120 degrees Fahrenheit Separated from his herd Some time ago Never seeing them again He headed to the oxbow The stream had dried up Nothing left to drink Wandering aimlessly He had to think Planetary conditions harsh His skin burningContinue reading “Dry as a Bone”
