Another poem, this one personal
I kneel in prayer
My idol, pure and clean, looms before me
I am not pure
My impurity sits low and heavy in me
I ask for forgiveness
The prayers are harsh
They burn my throat and mouth
I reach deep into myself;
Prayer is always hard this way
I stand up and flush the toilet
I am pure again
