YOU should have seen
her eyes LIGHT up.
IT WAS AS IF
you could watch her
heart opening.
IT WAS AS IF
she came alive in
her core essence.
IT WAS AS IF
she felt understood
for who she was.
IT WAS AS IF.
.
+ despite the noise
around them
there was a secure
calmness to her excitement
OUTLINING THE WHOLENESS

stayed in that space,

as he watched her leave
(holding on to the sight of her).
YOU should have seen
her eyes LIGHT up.

there was WAY MORE to go.

TO PEACE
with giving herself time.

missing the right point in time
wouldn’t be that favorable
EITHER.
+ sie hatte den VERDACHT,
that it had occurred to her
recently.

for not acting,
cause things were
FAR too important

how to UNDRESS.

how to undress.
AMIDST THE MESS.

she could barely
claim a CLEAR THOUGHT.
she could barely
recognize truth.
+ UNTRUTH.
she could barely
SIT WITH how
attracted she was.
desire was NOT HER JAM.
+ she felt helpless.
HOW TO DEAL
with not knowing.
how to admit
her weakness in front
of herself.

glimpses of BLISS

in the SIMPLICITY
of the chance
to LAUGH.
.
MAYBE the world
is a mess.
MAYBE life will
go on eternally.
MAYBE we are
just shifting from
one form to
the next.
this doesn’t mean
we have no impact
with HOW WE ACT.
+ courage is not
the absence of fear.
COURAGE IS ACTING
DESPITE THE FEAR.
(I keep telling myself.)

sometimes I don’t dare
to say WHAT I SHOULD SAY,
cause it would take me
out of my comfort-zone.
that’s PROBLEMATIC.
