Beatitude

I consider my hunger

to live close to my source,

to be stripped bare

of false dependencies,

let go of petty tethers

so I can radically cleave

to what will lift me

along the currents I have always craved

I know I need some height

to make the deep dive,

I need to jump off

to be borne up,

I need to know what to let go of

and what to hold to,

and trust that in my hunger,

I’ll be filled.
