A glass of water
Condensed droplets dripping down
Pooling at the bottom
I pick it up
Slippery between my fingers
The gentle clattering of ice cubes
Grows stronger
As it trembles
Spills
I lick it
Catching the droplet
Sweet, but
Not enough to quench my thirst
More
The ice cubes melt on my tongue
Two hands now
Clutch the glass
Messily
I stir
I sip

We are both looking at the glass
It’s been a while since i’ve had water
It’s been a while since you’ve been drunk
