my work
the work I do
my work
my inner work
is not to reduce
or to deny
categorise as false
and to argue
as convincing
as I can
my work
my inner work
is not reductive
but synthetic
my work
my inner work
this analysis
does not mean
endless rationalisation
but to undo
to loosen up
the fixed perceptions
the work I do
this inner work
is to listen and observe
I don’t deny
your experience
your feelings
and story
the way you see me
and I don’t deny
mine:
4
addendum
meltdrown
again
questions
trepidation
stripping the protections
what do you see
shhhh
…
the whole archive of my inner life
but this inner work
is to loosen
my consciousness perception
of myself
to help my psyche
heal itself
by putting an end
to the division
forcing the opposing energies
the walking paradox
into a common channel
until
the standstill
is overcome
and life
can flow on
with renewed power
towards new goals [1]
