What We Crave

I feel like I am on the edge
of a fresh spring.
dying of thirst.

I see it. I smell it. It is in reach, even.
but my arm won't move.
my legs won't budge.

No matter how much I believe,
no matter how much I stretch.

I want water.
for me. for my dying family.
we thirst.

I know the solution.
but we can't get close enough to drink.
I am stuck.
