by intention, or practical purpose
i only need to heal myself, and i
remember, how bad it is, how wrong,
for a physician to heal himself, or
for a lawyer to defend himself, that
would be a terrible mistake, a physician
or a lawyer for a fool, but this is not
what i want to say, .................
i am here, look at me, i am nowhere,
i have no face, i cannot be touched,
somehow, there is no wish for that,
for i imagine this only as a clinic,
a sofa, where Sigmund is brought to
life again with my words, and he begins
to listen, as i elaborate upon blocks
and blocks of experiences which He has
to reconstruct so that i can be understood
since such understanding can, perhaps,
lead to a cure. I am confident, however,
i know where to go, what to say, and whom
to say it. By intention, there is no wish
to impress, or write the best lines,
this is a soliloquy, a boat in the middle
of the ocean, and there is no island in
sight.By intention, it is just to love
to love and expecting nothing in return.
