Scrubbed Clean Poem by Steven Federle

Scrubbed Clean

Rating: 5.0


the blue sky
scrapes
black space

and wind fills my face,
raises me to heights
beyond fear, beyond
siren-calls

at crossings
unstoppable
as ancient trains glide,
inexorably
grinding
fate;

but higher I’ll fly,
beyond the stench of ruin.

foul grief cannot follow
to where I’ll go, lifted
by the constant,
immaculate
wind.

The yearning to soar above fate - beautifully expressed Steven. A great poem indeed.
