The Water Burns

The water burns my skin.

I wonder when the pain will end.

When the flies flit past the depths

Into the light

Where moths sing

Where I live, contained

I sleep and dream

Of a voice, high and glossy

Spoke to me

Told me of a treasure

Buried beneath the earth

A curiosity

Where the water burns

Where the moths sing

Where the flies buzz

Where I lie underneath the soil

Where I wait...
