"The Dead You've Left"
Some I have abandoned,who stand spinning within themselves;
who create the vortex that pulls downward;
those who never ask,
locked inside their situations
with their microscopically gigantic problems,
which they desperately cling to
To abandon such people
in an evaluative airing-out,
is a process of purification,
a shaking-off,
a clearing of the temple
– the love of life itself –
...and it was not easy to abandon, reject,
for I had placed my bets on them,
and guessed wrong
