Bottom

The bottom’s had
a bad rap 
what if the 
bottom’s what’s left 
after the debris 
of one’s life
is swept away 
and it’s not 
even a bottom 
but a passage 
to places beyond 
unseen and distant 
oh poor bottom 
lost and forgotten 
not by me 
for I have 
gone even lower 
into my tunnels 
and it’s marvelous 
come join me
