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
