THE WATER
SO COOL AND SENSUOUS
SILKY TO THE TOUCH
WOULD NOT MAKE THE BLOOD
THE BOILING BLOOD OF IRE
BLOOD OF VENGEANCE
AND MUCH INDISCRETION
THE WATER
WOULD NOT MAKE THE BLOOD
GO AWAY
THOUGH FURIES BE EUMENIDES
THE COOLNESS OF THE WATER
CAN'T TAKE THE BLOOD AWAY
ORESTES SCRUBBED HIS SOUL AWAY
SCRUBBED AND SCRUBBED
IT ALWAYS STAYED
