the river
lain posthumous
after i
had slain
it with
swords of
drought and
saharan war

my sword
of darkness
has never
been rivaled
competitively

to rain
upon your
river and
replenish your
bountiful tide

thou should
never tempt
my sword
of darkness

my sword
is mystery
and has
left
them breathless

drowning in
my river
is an
every day
occurrence

i expect
to see
you
washed upon
my shore
with a
white flag

just as
those prior
to you
