Of Healing and Cleaning

(To K.)

Agony, suffering
Or stuff of this sort will
One day remind you of the dirt
We're paid to clean, buddy:

Never wanted,
Always avoided, we know
It just as it is.

Healing is akin to cleaning;
For both seem as necessary
As eventually futile.

That dirt transporting
is neither about hiding,
postponing nor surrendering:

It may be more about accepting,
Where a spot is all needed
In your heart to contain it.

  1. I would appreciate more visual materials, to make your blog more attractive, but your writing style really compensates it. But there is always place for improvement
