The Patient Inner Demon

a poem

I am the mother to the self and tell it

No, you’ve had enough

And it, myself, says that this is no problem

Didn’t want more anyway, really

And of course the mothering me is tired

Is always tired, and other me, also me

Poetry of the highest expressive quality: work which will grasp, thrill and move you.
