The sharp cacti are needles in a pin cushion, sticking their needles out to ***** the finger of a helpless person. The dry, rough ground is a pair of Winter lips, in need of moisturizing. The one tree every 50 miles is a rain drop in a drought, treasured and loved by everyone in the desert. The one of few ponds is a warm, rich, and steamy bath, used so much until itβs gone.
