Constructive criticism is greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Parched

My cells scream
For moisture
Osmosis has failed them

My tongue is like a barren wasteland
A graveyard for my saliva
Dry as cursed soil

I close my eyes
For there are no precious liquid tears
To keep my eyeballs from cracking
Disintegrating into dust
Wafting from their sockets

My skin has been flayed
Dead flakes spew like snow
My blood becomes encrusted
Too viscose to seep out
And bathe my dying tissue

The arid desert cannot compare
To my thirst
For even in the desert
It rains every hundred years

passing shadows

You make me feel very grateful
that our drought has broken.

Dry, indeed!
