Rebirth

carve it out of me 
lay me down gently and open me up
the pouring blood
the burning skin
what a sweet relief

bury your hands in my chest
hunt it 
seize it
eradicate 

at last purified 
I can walk this earth in a sacred body 

how did it feel to taste rebirth Lazarus?
it’s death

La sua e' una poesia potente che tocca l'intimo dello spirito
