I’m done.
I can’t move
around any longer. My feet are blistered, with weeping and cracked soles. My
throat is dry, my tongue thick in my mouth.
There’s water
not too far away, if I remember correctly, only an hour or so of walking
distance. I feel like instead it’s across an impassible breach. My legs are
shaking from the constant strain they’ve been under, even though I’m lying here
in the dirt for now, gazing up at the bright sun. It’s been so hot lately.
Except for at
night. The temperature always drops when the sun goes down. When the trembling
of the earth starts.
