Spillage

Swollen like a river
  flooded ..
Swollen like some
thirsty
  engorged gourd ..
Swollen
like some bloated
stream,
now far too deep to
  safely ford ..
Swollen like some
blue vein
throbbing, nigh on
  fit to burst ..
Swollen like some
second
coming, moisten lips
and then
  quench this thirst ..
