the most impactful,

the most liberating--is

often vilified.

a thankless monster

whose healing touch

becomes the basis of

all evils.

as dead weight, yet how it

that must be deemed an invading force.

the: me, and not me of it--the crude cuts

of gross misunderstandings.

an imposing silence which must be

driven out.
