Of Healing and Cleaning

(To Kali)

Agony, suffering
and matter of the same sort
may remind us of the dirt
we try to clean, buddy.

Never wanted,
it simply is.

Healing is akin
to cleaning in that
it's necessary yet
ultimately futile.

That act of transporting
dirt elsewhere isn't
about hiding, delaying
or surrendering.

At the end of the day,
it’s about accepting;
a spot is all needed
in our heart to contain it.
