the first drink of water after a fast

the first long drink of water after a long
   slow
     fast day
i feel liquid rehydration running down the dried-up
  dried out
    river-beds of my veins.
i feel the dusty blood-ways of my lifeblood
   revive
     with the blessing of the One Who spoke
i feel the joy
   of the wadi
when the springs flow again.
