renew, rebathe, rebirth

by Gira Bryant

somewhere in lonely places
our feet wander
though we know not
how or why

somewhere our broken hearts
shudder their last sobbing
agonized cry, and rise
from the boiling vats
of fury

as if newly born, reclaimed
there in the valley of sorrows
we slip away

from everything that came
before

into whatever happens next

It's a pretty wide field, as far as what happens next goes. I really liked those last three lines.

the boiling vats of fury. a wide expanse, indeed.
