Water of Death Robert Morgan Appalachian Heritage, Volume 32, Number 3, Summer 2004, p. 36 (Article) Published by The University of North Carolina Press DOI: https://doi.org/10.1353/aph.2004.0033 For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/434595/summary Access provided at 19 Feb 2020 19:31 GMT from JHU Libraries Water of Death Those dying of a wound, of massive bleeding, shock, experience awful thirst, as if they're parched by heat of pain, as though they're drained and bleached by suffering. How human is the crave for water's cooling splash on tongue, in throat, the soothe of chill and wetness down into the belly, thrill of sipping, thrill of swallow and guzzle of communion, the need to swill life's water against time's ash and dust, the drink of fellowship to fill our veins, our guts, with earth's most common element just as we leave the earth. —Robert Morgan http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Appalachian Review University of North Carolina Press
