I do believe in therapy,
but of a certain kind
The type anointed on oneself,
and in yourself to find
A strength to make decisions,
the will to see them through
To best ignore what others say,
while benefiting you
These words are not capricious,
recovery zero-sum
With judgment not to praise or blame
—its cure the only one

I'm going to go down as ambiguous
When I do go down

Please look not on my sins

Shadows of tomorrow,
reflections of yesterday

Images of the moment
—in whose Trinity we pray

threads
not only obsessions
weaving, weaving, weaving

allusions
Eliot reflections
thieving, thieving. thieving

O you future people!
What will you stop and see?

Please judge tenderly
me, thee, and Emily!
