10: faith

this will not work
this hiding away

take three deep breaths to remind
your body that you are safe

allow the eyelids to droop
allow the shoulders to curl

remember the flake of the dark
soft blue blanket against your skin

ashamed or not, here you are
another day, you survived

this is where faith is required
when faced with the bowl of night

do you pour in your hopes
can you truly assume
that tomorrow will be clean
as air, that everything heavy
will pass into the earth
when your body
is willing to rest?
