When you speak
go deep  
down
to the pool

of still blue
water
most people
think brain

when it comes
to clarity
but it's really
about

uncovering
and unpacking
how you feel
over what you think

the thinking
comes later
once you  have
walked the ruins

and seen what
was where and
who was what
and where the

bodies
could've
been
buried
