Wheels within wheels

Wheels within wheels

Dayna Mazzuca

in the face
of desolation, the sound of water
is a godsend, a reminder that rivers
redeem, fill chasms, help
produce food, bring
peace

in times
ravaged by lions tearing their prey,
compounding trauma for unjust gain,
the fear of famine looms…
until
people hear the word that brings
rain
