a lake teems with life

    bream swim
    ducks float
    algae blooms
    bears consume

the aquifer goes dry

      fish suffocate
      birds migrate
      plants parch
      animals starve
    
the hot sun brought rot

                  winds whistle
  
sand fills the basin
    the shape of the lake
        
                                  gone
