she
feeds
the
funnel
into
her
young
son's
mouth
,
and
with
it
water
no
well
has
held
.
he
chokes
down
the
bitter
brine
while
she
sucks
the
sick
from
his
lungs
with
a
synthetic
syringe
.
all
she's
bought
is
a
bit
of
time
.
though
he
lacks
the
strength
to
stand
,
the
frail
fruit
of
his
frame
is
somehow
sweeter
for
being
bruised
by
the
spill
he
took
when
he
was
only
a
soft
seed
swimming
upstream
.
