Clean

Cool, dark isolation
Curled in a bed
scooped out of the soft earth
Darkened by curved fingers
Lifted up by flat shafts of light

The breath is clean
It is purged
It traces the spine
Exhausting the corrosive restraints

The work, the effort
fires the wind that’s inhaled,
lifts the spines of light.
