trying to remove the ink from the milk – v2

trying to remove the ink from the milk

the dye out of the solution, mixing,

roots sunk down deep, within,

into the fabric, deep meaning

pain too great to bear

trying to remove the ink from the milk

the dye of out of the solution, quickly,

cutting off the ties that bind

holding us, that connect us together

pain too great to bear

trying to remove the ink from the milk

the dye out of the solution, a process,

striving to remove, to extract

the threads, the drops remaining

pain too great to bear

trying to remove the ink out of the milk

the dye out of the solution, completely

a slow painful process, itself a journey

removing, severing all ties

pain too great to bear

trying to remove the ink from the milk

http://raymondafoss.blogspot.com/2019/06/trying-to-remove-ink-from-milk.html

imagery - not putting the toothpaste

back in the tube; but removing

a drop of ink out of a gallon of milk

or like fully removing kudzu

or the roots of dandelions from land.
