they dug their own cisterns

from the limestone, the mud,

from the dust of the earth

the people choosing

to dig their own cisterns

turning their back

on the spring of living water

thirsty for something

but denying the Father

drinking from the sludge

the cisterns of their making

Jeremiah 2:13

“My people have committed two sins:
They have forsaken me,
    the spring of living water,
and have dug their own cisterns,
    broken cisterns that cannot hold water.” (NIV)
