It is water
I must drink
Nothing else
Will cleanse my soul.
Deposited
Here
You will hear it,
Clearly,
Our own sad story.
I’ve made mistakes.
with a kiss,
others, a fist,
some by running
while others standing still.
The sadness?
I inherited.
For inside me
is an unwavering light,
& no place to hide.
Do you recognize me now?
