Sugar Glider

Published 22 September 2023
See me at nighttime by a fruit tree,
Using my patagium to glide from tree to tree,
Good sources of food will keep me alive,
The drought arrived,
I am hungry and thirsty,
My throat feels dry and rough like sandpaper,
Gliding to a tree because I am searching for water,
Like a starving human would search for water or food,
In this moment I feel hopeless,
Daytime is over and now nighttime is present,
Eventually, the rain showered over the land,
Tough days are over,
For now.
