Come as you are

I used to think the point of poetry was capture

Then I realised it was loss

To empty

And thereby

Sink

Closer to the source

Getting rid of the extraneous

Thought

To find

Where we all emerge from

Purity

Unabridged

Unfiltered

Unembellished

Come as you are

The bible said

Apparently who we are

Is the tricky bit
