Mouths Are Deep Rivers

[Mine] mouths are deep rivers as cold 
As the dead that love the living

As alder blight can strike 
The love of youth 

The unholy woolly wilting 
Unlike aching souls for 
Golden beasts

	When feared
		We pray
	When comforted
		We play
	When crushed
		We die

In bits & pieces 
Like twigs and leaf 

That twists and floats 
Down a raging river

		We go.
