Plumbing
They cannot be avoided, these exit points
that vacate what we do not need,
that must be cleansed and kept free
of anything which may impede the flow.
The plug hole is the receptacle of all
that needs sweeping away,
The chrome starred strainer filters what is loose and liminal,
what is transformative can be swirled through.
When the plug is pulled, when everything that is unwanted
has been sloughed off, you can watch it leave,
watch it all drop away, although
what is too cumbersome to pass through still remains.
Enjoyed the anticipation of that last line. Love it.
