I want to settle inside
Next to the lungs of life,
Breathe deep with every pulse
Of its heart, steady
I want my layers shed,
The worn and crusted to be
Scraped,
Letting me breathe, easy
I want the false life
Sucked out,
Leaving my shell, chipped and coarse
But intact, strong, rigid – clear
Pushing, pulsing up
Is pure sweet and warm,
Life’s essence filling me whole,
Reclamation and Regeneration
I am transparent again
