Because of when
The food
In the kitchen
And the water
In the well
Start
To
Disappear.
And you realise
You can't
Hold drought off
Forever.
And your measly rations
Are getting
Ever more measly.
And aunt
And uncle
Look scared
Because
They have never
Had to deal
With anything
Like this
Before.
Because of when
Food
Is so scarce
And water
So unreachable
That even
The cousins
Have less
Than a meal
A day.
