Is there a language for
me, who I am?

I want to speak out
to exist

and not languish
in a corner

the filth

of what happened
not pretend that

nothing has happened
and live around it

around myself, around
the discomfort in me

about the nice experiences
that let the other ones in

the unnameable
things he did

that made me fall
without flying
“Falling is like flying”
(“Vallen is als vliegen”, 2019, Manon Uphoff)
