We do shadow work
to hunt the monsters in our midst —
which until they can be seen inside of us
will continue to haunt the outside of us.
I consented to receive projections
from ten of my friends.
Afterwards, I thought:
If I am all of those things,
and none of those things,
who am I?
I wrote a song about this once.
That’s how it needs to be
Or you’re never safe with me
I’ve gotta work this one through
Or I’m never safe with you
We make ourselves safe with each other
by becoming safe with ourselves.
