The Wise Woman's Call
Not a single plant has grown since my birthday this past June. And it’s going on August now with no signs of rain coming. Not a taste of moisture in the air or the sight of swelling, dark clouds looming over the horizon. Only the never-ending presence of the beaming sun. Seemingly, baking everything below to a sizzle. The sight of the arid plains makes me frown. I turn around swiftly, tired of looking at it. I pick up my bucket and begin my journey to the community water tower. The last of all the water in this small town. There’s already a line of people by the time I’m there. All of them are neighbors that I’ve known my whole life. I feel sweat beads from my hairline down. The water tower groans as its’ fluids are drained. I stare at the green bold words that read Bountiful over the rusting surface. It too seems to be withering away like the rest of us.
