You Are a Dark Body of water with a bed of rock barely visible from your surface. You are the only dark body of water in a desert littered with bleeding cactus. At your collarbones you carry a gulch, held up by a thread of hair. You travel days drinking only from yourself, because you are this land’s only dark body of water.

The man kicks you off the bed, covers you with dirt, and turns you desert. You cry for a bed he will never let you sleep in again. You cry for your body’s bed of rock turned desert for lack of water.
