There are terms for that



There are terms for that
Compromise
Desert memory
Leaving bleached remains
Named
After ceremony
To contain murmurs
White
With properties
Poorly treatied

Who would range
From hole to hole
Without a guide
Or band
To trail
Who would bring
The water back
Where to place
The searching
Bones

There are terms
For dry containers
Founded in a former rill
Named for mouths
Of emptied crescents
Handed to a thirsty moon
