Toothbrush

"...with the smooth touch of your eyes..."

Toothbrush

I see you in
the tooth-brush
every morning
every night
clearing off
emotional tartar and
plaque on ego
with the smooth
touch of your eyes
Dexterously
you reach each
nook and cranny
of body and mind
and purge out the
germs imported
from daily
social conundrum
I am being purified
by the passing
of each breath
