the Acheron is not enough 
by the time Charon 
drops me on the bank
between the Acheron 
and the Cocytus 
I am wailing and lamenting 
everything I've done wrong 
I am calling out for the lost ones 
those poisoned or shot
who would have known 
I had so many tears in me?
tears like blood
bursting from me
 
I'm loving the five rivers, so moving, Susan
