The river hot and still sits lazily at the banks One foot in and sinks into the mud Ripples echo off of my ankle and minerals solidify on my calf Another step and the water crawls up my thigh The muddy waters reach my waist and I sink and I pray The contents of the river are unknown and I give all of myself to it The sun burns my ******* my voice is raw and my eyes are red This is my worst form and the river swallows me hole

Muddy Waters
The river hot and still sits lazily at the banks One foot in and sinks into the mud Ripples echo off of my ankle and minerals solidify on my calf Another step and the water crawls up my thigh The muddy waters reach my waist and I sink and I pray The contents of the river are unknown and I give all of myself to it The sun burns my ******* my voice is raw and my eyes are red This is my worst form and the river swallows me hole
