dearest soul
what will it take to get you to live?
    how many steps can I take to make you exhale before
                you just run out of water?
   spill your atoms, cry your anatomy loose,
             let the hoarse chants and helpless rivers flow
              run unchecked and swift.
        I have heard tales told, primal and coarse,
that you would never have believed
      mine ears would ever hear;
        and yet, I know the pain
        and I hear the suffer,
        and I offer you my canoe paddles
               to dig that much further upstream.
  but,
will you?

I actually am not too sure I get this... 

At first i thought i did.. like we all have our own places to try and fight to get out but i am not too sure. 

Curiosity 
"   spill your atoms, cry your anatomy loose," what does this mean? 

and what about the canoe paddles?
