Cleanse

twisting

my brain wrings out the murky water

which trickles down and pools at my jaw

wish washing

I tilt my head sideways and the water flows

like a roaring river

out of my ear and upon the floor

a puddle at my feet

I peer down upon

the corruption that once saturated my mind

I bid adieu


The author's comments:

“Cleanse” describes the release of toxic thoughts built up in our minds. It is the process we execute in order to feel free from the negative mindsets we so often find ourselves trapped within. The mind is where we contemplate all our doubts, suspicions, and fears, which is why “Cleanse” begins with the twisting of the brain. When solving the world’s dilemmas, we must first establish clarity and refinement in our own heads.
