I have been in that type of drought.

really this gave me a lot of thoughts. can be read in many layers
It rained like that in Germany! It was summer, very dry – which we were not accustomed to. We had clothes drying on an outdoor line. The clothes dried in spite of the rain. It was surreal for folks who came from a humid island that is at sea level!
luv the sound of rain on the roof; have a nice weekend
much love…
Thanks…slippers can often refer to any foot wear, especially that which makes no sound when walking – often crepe rubber type soles 🙂 Or can be slipped on the feet without lacing.
Then again ballet slippers are only durable with proper care and require much time and effort to put on correctly 😉
~Cheers, Jules
Thanks for the clarification. I was imagining flimsy footwear! 😉

We all imagine different things –
And that is a good thing 🙂
Awesome haiku Mark … very spiritual in its deeper layers. Thank you for being part in our pilgrimage.
oo i feel the bleakness in this…rain to dust so quick….
there is a despair in that…
and thank you for visiting today…smiles.
This is sad really…though wonderful imagery….rain turning to dust without helping anything grow.
You capture drought vividly.
Rain disappearing without doing any benefit to anything, but just lives on to be useless dust. Incredible piece!
There are layers here–so very well done Mark
thirst for life….wonderful
