When Day Breaks Me
the sun ushers the way
with blinding, purifying light
cleansing the filth
washes me away
its rays stronger than any tidal wave
boiling flesh like salt our of water
sanitizing the earth
i am dirty
i am only safe in the night
come day, if not hidden by shelter or shade
i shall be burnt away
i shall go up in flames
fall to my knees
fold my hands
plea, beg, plea again
for forgiveness
for another chance
ashes to ashes
dust to dust
and the summer morning breeze
brushes me away
