YOU DISAPPEAR

Katja Sraka

 

 

You are a stream

In my dried out desert,

Fulfilling me with freshness and life,

Making it green

 

But then you disappear.

 

And you are the sun,

Exhausting me,

Bringing me drought,

I slowly die,

My plants are gone

 

And then you disappear.

 

Sometimes you are the wind

Throwing my sand around,

Cooling me, moving me,

You invite me to dance,

Though you know I have no chance.

 

That's why you disappear.
