I gather my mistakes
this time
in each obstacle
and rejection
is a map to a coal mine.
I discovered it
in my body
buried deep, capable of fire
ripened by time
I will mine now the essences
and siphon the gasoline.
This is to let everything go
and start again
to clean the clogs
and oil the machine
because my heart is a coal mine
rich in obstacles,
danger prone
but capable of fire.
