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]
