No God or Religion, do I trust,
But, into these hot waters I step,
To exercise my own Baptism,
Or customary Exorcism.
Call it what you will,
It's all the same,
This ritual of mine,
Is a temporary refrain.
Cloaked in Aloe,
I temper and polish -
Until the dullness gleams.
Only these salt waters hear,
My endless silent screams.
