From the ground, I sprang,

A muddied, small, sultry thing

That bloomed curves for you.

.

Dip me in the pool,

Call me pure while you sully

My soul with your tide.

.

Enraged, angry heat.

I awoke you when I spoke.

Burn me worse, for this.

.

I gave up, to you,

Float me away, yes father,

My last gasp for air.
