Poets, what removes a stain from the heart?

Spots
by Koye Lott

Scrubbing fails where kindness is successful...
the spots that dot our souls leave stains on our hearts
and we become all the wiser for them
we decide to explore them.... or ignore or abhor them
openly
mentally metaphysically
but busily we exhale and inhale
albeit from woes
as if caught in the last throes of emotional death
in depth and indebted
to the spots.... on the garments of our hearts
