when you feel
bitterness l i n g e ring
at the back
of the throat,
let it burn s l o w l y
like a dancing flame
rising from
beneath
you
where the sharpest edge
meets a r g n s a
a i g e
with the strength
of a feather
balancing lightly
upon an ostrich's back:
d
i
v
e
into
black waters
for light
is here
too,
so come back
to your home
and sing your song
from
the damp
dark
exquisite
roots
of your being.
