Imagine a place…
Where something crucial to your survival can kill you,
Where walking for hours on earth that is as hot as coal is normal,
With water millions of miles away,
Carrying litres on your head,
Getting up to get it before the sun is out of bed,
Then returning after night fall,
Only to repeat this the next day.
