morning ritual

When taking your morning shower,
what you are cleansing for
you cannot know.

What will arrive today
sensing the cleanliness
of your heart,
of your readiness?

Whatever it is
you will know when it arrives.

For in that moment
you will feel prepared
and somehow sacred.

  1. Christmas -- the original -- showered blessedness upon humankind. We have tried and failed ever since to wash it off.

  2. oh, belief
    that we are not even worth such a bathing
    may you end
    today
    for the sake of all and the earth their feet touch.
