waiting for breath

divine breath
exhaled, over a Windhoek Light
from dirt we come
in dirt we live
fragile

breathe out fear
breathe in light
breathe out pain
breathe in love
breathe out shame
breathe in grace

sanctified mud
purged from within, let go of
left behind hurts
failures forgotten
peace

breathe out fear
breathe in light
breathe out pain
breathe in love
breathe out shame
breathe in grace

divine flesh
smiling at me, closeness
friends by accident
friends by choice
intimacy
forever
