Leaving the Body
Purification before morning coffee
Published in

Running before the sun wakes
As street lights guide me home
Left, right, foot to pavement
With each step, I come alive
No humans, no dogs yet
They fear the owls, coyotes
The creatures that guide me
With their howls and coos
Thoughts, ideas flow to me
From the highest of sources
No headphones to block my ears
No zipping cars or empty words
I dread this time, most times
Waking long before my lover
But there’s a peace that comes
When toxins leave your body
Before anyone else can witness
