sticks and stones ... are tossed and turned ... they do not hold the river
I see the light ... the pale green light ... shines through the river ... the cold cold river ... the pale green light ... shines through the river
I reach for the light ... the river sweeps me on ... I reach for the light ... the river pulls me under ... I reach for the light ... the river wants to hold me ... the river wants to bring me
down ... into the light
I feel the river ... pull my clothes ... my clothes slipping off ... I feel the pull ... my clothes ... in the river
the river numbs ... my hands are numb ... my clothes sweep down ... the river
my clothes are gone ... down the river ... the clothes I washed ... in the river ... are gone
