The Last Drop

Words By Samuel Smith, Art By Roegger

drip

drip
drip

The dripping has persisted for hours
I remain still, lying here on my back

drip

I try not to think of the sound

drip

drip
drip

Visions of past distract me from my present
running through the field
not sure if I chase or am being chased

drip

joining in with her giggling

She isn’t giggling anymore
not since I’ve been here

drip

she thinks I don’t know
but I can hear, I feel her ache
all I hear is crying

drip

drip

drip

I lie still, I’ve given up movement
and that dripping is driving me mad

drip

but I suppose I shouldn’t complain
I’m here
Though I do wish this box was a little bigger.
