Watering Hole

Sparrows drinking water cooled by night hours and shining with gasoline runoff. A pothole gathering for the tired merry, grateful to have found a potion to ease the aching of their flappings. How sweet and small, ticklish with purity, are these sparrows lapping, humble and guttural with desperation. Cars blare, dispersing these delicate aspirations, but they soon again flock and round the jagged crater. Such rich vibrant water, this rainbow runoff of death.
