The water rises like a flood

Onto the streets, still red with blood

Come wash away the crimson stain

Remove the reminder of mortal pain

I can’t stay dry

Five stories high

Though there’s a fire

Warm sparking wire

Nice day for a swim

Not much else to do

Just lie on my back

And enjoy the view

Rising past the tallest tower

The Sun is bright this final hour
