Like sprinkling dust on the paper, Moulding itself into mud; Sound the words of the pauper, Forming his tears into flood.
His need is not a bigger pocket, Or a fam of a good blood; His thirst made him a bitter poet, Being lost in the flood.
Flood of a baby's first cry to the world, Seeing everything newly indifferent; He wishes for a straight world unwhirled, Wishing not being so different.
Dirting the paper with stolen words, From sloppy worlds of others; The pauper gets deeper in his thirst, And goner in others'.
Sodden paper-pieces in the mud, Like flood-brought thrashes; But they didn't came with the flood, Just from a former poet's ashes.
