My body was limp,
like a plant never watered
Bent, Leaning toward the light.
A man caressed me and
I felt like a garden finally being watered.
The absorbing moisture
Puffed my face,
Straightened my fingers and
Made me smile.
I've lived through drought and famine.
Feeling like a deflated balloon.
A simple touch or caress
Would fill my soul.
