You are already clean.
Don't be afraid
of how beautiful you are becoming.
One day
you will look out and see
the glory shining out of our skin
like light
spilling out of a cup.
One day
the angels will look at you and shout
in all the colors we cannot see.
Don't forget to notice
how beautiful this world is.
Don't forget
how to call shit, shit.
Cherish the beetles
and the sweat.
Don't forget
this world is worthy
of your beauty
all of it.
Don't forget
how to be angry,
how to hope.
We are all made for beauty.
One day the angels
will hide their eyes
at the light of it.
You are already clean.
It is already shining out of you,
luminous in your blood,
your bone,
your skin and sweat.
Don't be afraid
of how beautiful you are becoming.
You are already clean.
