Dry Mouth Today
by Richard L. Provencher

The cows are masks
of untapped energy

following single file
on bleached growth

saturated by the sun

shuffling along as a
ragtag remnant

of a once proud platoon

stretching tongues
towards a diminishing

slough over the next ridge

sun whipping
field dry and bumpy

passionate in their yearning
they stumble along

in pursuit of one precious
gulp of water.

Richard L. Provencher

Richard enjoys writing poems; many of which have been published in Print and Online. He and his wife, Esther are also co-authors of stories and a print novel. They are "born again" Christians and very busy in their church, Abundant Life Victory International, in Bible Hill, Nova Scotia.
