pull the wool from
my eyes, sensitize me.
cut the cancer from inside, purify me.
send your cleansing rain, saturate me.
burn away this pain, drench and drain me.
placed beneath
this still sky
only reflecting its pale blue
so imperfect in contrast
and yet we continue to do the things we do.
set ablaze this
garden
ignited by sulfurous pride
cauterized creation
when will we feel the burning inside?
ashes, ashes, we all fall down.
