Gather your soap
Bring out your soap
Scented and unscented
Dish and laundry 
Foam and scum
Little hotel soap
Filthy gas station soap
Homemade and factory made
Soap of laborers soap of celebrities
True soap and beauty soap
Lye soap and soft soap
Cold press and triple milled
Soap of plants and oils
Of lavender and frankincense
Soap for waking up
Soap for falling asleep
Soap on a rope
Soap that floats like hope
Soap made of bark and roots
Of shells and high tide
Soap of the moon and the Milky Way
Soap that burns and soap
Of no more tears
Soap like lava
Soap like silk 
Soap of lovers in a tub
Lathering each other
Soap rubbed silently on the body
For burial
Soap bubbled and blown into ovals
Drifting rainbowed over us
Bursting for no reason we see
Soap for the visible dirt
Soap for the unseeable disease
Gather them
Bring them out 
Add them to a bowl woven from sweet grass 
Slowly stir until smooth while staring
Fear in the eye and calling 
On the mountains and the wind 
To forgive us
To cleanse us once and for all
