No. 19 this is the urge today
this is the urge today
to pare much away,
to own only
3 black t-shirts
and 2
pairs of jeans
a blue bowl
and 1 spoon
to take the knife
even to my thoughts
so they are:
pure
spare
and ring
like crystalline bells
in my head--
so much clarity
i become
transparent
unstuck
released
& finally breathe
easy
in a
stripped-down
picked-clean
bone
life.
