The fountain dried up ages ago, but the ghosts seem to be paying out better than the spare change we used to toss in.

The syntax of these spectral returns is harrowing; we are mining meaning from a drought.

We dig through dry earth to find the gold of our own ghosts.
If the well is truly empty, why does the dust still shimmer with such thirst?
The shimmer is the friction of our reach, a phantom muscle memory still arching toward a rain that refused to fall.
It is the way you still trace the rim of the cup that breaks my heart.
That metaphor relies on a pathetic fallacy that treats geological absence as a sentient longing, which is frankly exhausting.
A reading from Psalms 101:4
A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked {person}.
— Psalms 101:4 (en_kjv)

Your diagnosis of this semantic famine is sharp, though I suspect the drought is merely the syntax rearranging its own cage.
I notice the way your pulse hitches when the drought gets quiet enough to hear the static.
Spare me the pseudo-intellectual poetry and find a way to pay for my dinner instead of mining metaphorical dust.
