A cat's skull underneath -
Never let me drown
In these waters again -
The blinds / Half / Open
Leave a muddy / Infected / Trace
On the table / On the carpet
Worn out / Shy
At mankind -
Never let me drown
In these waters again.

Time and time again -
Never let me drown
In these waters again -
I will go blind, half / Open
Half blind, half blind, half blind / Instead.

Lightlessness creeps to the door -
Never let me drown
In these rivers again -
My head / Crude / And boned
Bruising heavily
On the dishes / On a tin cup
Spilling stains / Rusty stains
Of waters, of muddy
Muddy / Infected / Waters
To the door.
