"i must rethink everything i have ever thought"
relearn everything i have ever read.
i must swallow every deed, and re-commit them again,
this time with clean hands and a blank head.
i must return every thing i have ever bought
reweave everything i have destroyed.
i must rewind every memory wheel, record over every fantasy
remake everything into blank tapes of empty static.
i must recite everything i have ever written
reform everything i have ever touched.
i must rehash every feeling and regurgitate them in a landfill
cover everything up with re-purposed rennin and oil spills.
i must re-gouge every ear hole and re-listen to every sound
i must regress into every state of creation
recoil back into a single cell.

rinse, repeat.
and
againagainagain.
first line lifted from the beautiful poetry of Rachel Coyne ("tempt"), an indescribable inspiration and friend
