This body is growing hard and stale

rotting from the inside out

stinking of the fish

I've had to fill it with

Wanting desperately to be fished

out of the gaping river

swelling mountains.

This body has become the river

and the fish

and the slime and rotten wood

that sink to the bottom.

It is the rocks that the damned tourists

use to cross.

It's the ice

slapped on the top

keeping the muck from

stinking up the village.

The water is in my eyeballs

and always in my bladder

I can't seem to get rid of it

constantly pushing its way out

yearning, smashing against the banks

against the outside of this corspe

A swollen bloated body

with a putrid stentch

stinking up my river

my body

How do I fish a body

out of my body?

How can I rid it of stagnent

waters and force the spring?
