Cleanse my being of the labours of witness
Wash away the perils of humanity
Those absorbed without consent
The burdens of unmet needs
And wants
They stirred to cellular inflammation
A thousand unseen tears
Grief
Anger
Fear
Unholy regret
Noise and dissonance and song
Flow beyond me
Gently till the bedding for breath and light
And lightness
Transpire
You are gone
Presence in Place
