Polish Me Home – Short Poem

Polish Me Home

via the daily post 

---

 

Slam your fingers through the mud

grasp my sides and lift me up;

Cradle my complex body betwixt your fingers

as you gently rub

 

Strip me bare. Your words cut these walls and grind my corners

I’m lost to the senses within this mess

Each day

more is lost

 

Each day I’m falling fast

my sense of self

is brushed to dust

 

you’ve polished

my soul

now bring me home
