A Methylated River Flows

A methylated river flows
Through the verdant hills
It suffocates the pastures 
It maculates the mills

Its waters burn and blister
They torturously bend
To Tartarus below
They slavishly descend

I only hear the torrent
On certain times of year
When days are counted fewest
And Death is reckoned near
