[OC] Brackish

All girls corrupt like waves of brackish salt
Stolen from the world their youth the delta mix
Lies are told to make them think that it’s their fault

Though women try to shield them from the stiffened gault
They are dashed and churned into those bluish bricks
All girls corrupt like waves of brackish salt

A purity they chase as if their ends they think they’ll halt
Yet purity escapes and dies along the River Styx
Lies are told to make them think that it’s their fault

As girls do age and stiffen up like malt
To be like brick and stone for society’s new picks
All girls corrupt like waves of brackish salt
Lies are told to make them think that it’s their fault

spicecastle,

Love it! Also, idk why but for some reason the word „brackish“ sounds really beautiful to me. One question though, not sure if this might be a language/culture barrier thing, but what does „delta mix“ mean?

A river delta is where it meets a lake or the ocean. Where you would find brackish water for a fresh water river like the Amazon or Mississippi Rivers

spicecastle,

Oooh okay that makes sense, not sure why I didn‘t think of that lol. Thanks for explaining! (:
