inside my own

psychic abilities,

linking together a shard of hope

a shard of glass

a shard of understanding how you think,

“Lasting only for a time; not eternal; passing” (Thefreedictionary.com)

 the outstreached neurons of you drinking water

against the tongue

down the throat

in the belly

through the urinary tract

quenching the thirst
