I'm Clean Now

And I'm clean now

Mimicking hawks

I've climbed to the top of a poisonous valley

Valleys, pastel sheets draped across my feet

Violet flowers weep beneath my feet

Call the subordinate valley, to repeat

Like an infant's cry

Rise & echo forward [rise & echo forward] to the water's edge

To meet the beating of the waves

& form some kind of truce

Love uneven [sand eating at the land]

Water whispering, the

Absent pattern of your feet

Our love echoed the valley, crying low into the

Land, hiding its flowered head from the wind

[Hiding its flowered head from the wind]

[Hiding its flowered head from the wind]
