Cleanse

Cleanse

A Poem by Rita L. Sev
"

Lather, rinse...

"

When I get into a lather

I can’t wait to rinse it clean

I regret when fury flares;

Can’t take the heat

 

When the froth has settled down,

All the steam evaporated,

The last thing that I want

Is to repeat

A blind man with a seeing eye dog could see that fighting is not in your nature Rita and of course it makes you feel 'dirty' in a way because you veer from your natural nurturing friendly state and onto the dirt-tracks of life. You will always come clean though

Ha! A tongue twister! :) Thanks, Angel!
yes, that rinse cycle should happen once and that is it...we don't want to restart...we hope the angst has dried enough...and doesn't need to be ironed out once it is done getting cleaned out of our system.
