dew drops
balance
between the pull of gravity below and the suns warming light.

the drops
hang
systolically pressurized into a mist that clouds the horizon for a few early hours.

they then
accend
to hold themselves as cotton quilts that intermittently blanket the kansas sky.

contemplate
the heliocentric allure and draw themselves up from out the atmosphere.

waters gift
departs
To rise through the celestial heavens and eclipse themselves into the void-stained rapids.

were left
dehydrated
scratching at the surface for a taste of nothing and everything.

present humanity
falls
as the water rises, up and up until the world shrivels up just as quickly as it was inflated.
