‘Beautifully Caustic Paradox’ by Dania Ratiba

Your well
you have tirelessly breached
suddenly bubbles
with this beautifully caustic paradox.

For the very first time,
the tender brew
of steeped half smiles
and grace
lather up…

Letting time go, rinsing
this exchange of possession.
Now for surrender, your acquiescence…

Concede.
Endless,
full-bodied tears flow
from this impalpable compulsion…

That from the seat
of heady illumination,
there is a seed of self, of bloom to cultivate
through dank perfectness…

as your fingers uncurl
and let slip
the tide.
