Wash my heart in grief, you

whose love comes before love.

Plunge me into shame, soul

of joy. Touch me,

Only to show how untouched I am. See me,

Only so I curl in on myself. Wrung 

with loneliness I drip into the ocean. Fired

with despair, I am a speck of sand flowing into glass. You, 

you cannot be so far that I won't reach for you. And I,

in the dark, don't even need to close my eyes to see your face.
