The Waterless Streams |
| A suffocation of the senses |
| A senseless suffocation |
| Water-filled streams have long since dried |
| Was there ever any other way? |
| Or was this bleakest destiny our plague? |
| A dread impending |
| Like suicide’s omniscient plea |
| Clasping and crawling |
| And shredding man’s being |
| We were that we were |
| Now we are that we are — nothing, unseeing |
| Where once stood a temple |
| Now stands cold stone |
| An inner sanctum of utter disgust |
| Repelling nature’s divine lust |
| Mortality is truth |
| And truth is a lie |
| The waterless streams overwhelm us |
| And now we must die |
| But our dying hour resists our plea |
| Why won’t you come, why must you flee? |
| Our last rites have been written, but not yet read |
