the executioner
the executioner is getting old.
with every axe swung his joints weaken
with every noose tied he hangs himself.
he looks at the sunrise and thinks: yes, i can see beauty.
he looks at his hands and he says: yes, these hands are righteous.
he looks in the mirror and he knows: yes, this man is good
this man is good.

he looks in the mirror and he knows: yes, this man is good
this man is good.

he's done a lot,
to assume that he didn't overcame or override nothing is harsh judgement on the executioner.
your delivery is profound in it's impact.
each of his self assurances ...
Gawd this is a heavy read.

Oh hell no.
It's the sorta reading that leaves you moved, shakes feeds the soul. I mean stirs the imagination for all the right reasons. It does what a true piece of art ought to.
No it is art.

well to be frank I get lost for words more often. also get clumsy sometimes. In clear terms... it is clear, you know your art and you are good at it. so no praises meant there, just calling a jade just that. your opinion of your own works like so many artists here and outside is surprisingly modest and unjustifiably critical.

im not really modest at all tbh i have great confidence in my ability, but i am very critical of myself
that sounds like an impossibility, a... paradox, but it’s true x
