DEHYDRATION EFFECTS
The heat was drinking me
and this once I thought myself good
That I must be
Sweat overpaid at the toll booth
of each pore
Small coins of my not-self self
What I could give away
without losing
Who could be asked to bury
the piece of eight the clouds uncovered
I could have treasured more
