Lac Rouge's Guide To Vanishing.

One: Be strong like the raging trickle.

A drop that bleeds

To carve home

In earth.

Two: Be still like the deep reds.

Endless source ferry

Dust to life,

Man to men.

Three: Be swollen, a pregnant pause,

In burning silt.

Not yet a lost cause

But soon in trees etched.

Four: Be gone in the dead of the night in May.

Silent earth -

Life to dust,

Men to not.
