I’m reclaiming my heart #40
I’m reclaiming my heart
as the carwash
conveyor line
crawls
homeward.
**
**
I’m reclaiming my heart.
The spray down
removing traces
of invisible
vengeance.
**
**
I’m reclaiming my heart
Lurching.
Shaking.
Grinding.
Streaking.
**
**
I’m reclaiming my heart
The excessive suds
washing away
visible
shame.
**
**
I’m reclaiming my heart
Empty.
Noisy.
Redundant.
Full.
**
**
I’m reclaiming my heart
The hot wax
sealing
in love
and wisdom.
**
**
I’m reclaiming my heart
Saturated.
Hollowed.
Persistent.
Forgiving.
**
**
I’m reclaiming my heart
The forced air
making room
for more of me
and less of you.
**
**
I’m reclaiming my heart
Pressured.
Buffered.
Released.
Widened.
**
**
I’m reclaiming my heart
The garage door
opens and
I am
free.
