The River Of Oblivion

 

The River Of Oblivion

My terrible troop

My terrible army

Of horses and dogs

Of murderous looters

Bathing babies

Playing with them

Worshiping the sweet God

in the heavens

It’s hard to believe

The worst kind of witchcraft

Some potion

of the nastiest poison

Washed

and shaved faces

Clean clothes

Smiles and prayers

Day and night

toiling the land

Planting and harvesting

Watering, pruning, and weeding

Waiting for the fruit

without longing or desire

It's a kind of patience

I don't have yet

Good thing

the head witch

says I'm hers

That I'm her love

I leave her alone

to keep on believing

I'd go crazy with love

if I lost her

We have sinned

We have drunk

from the river of oblivion

Which is sweet and cold

An old sword

nicked and rusted now

slumbers at the bottom of a river

the sweet and cold sleep of oblivion
