culture fix

I.

in time, all betrayals are mutual.

it comes slowly

and you see it only from the backside

or it smacks you down

suddenly

everyone involved knows

• and no one could tell them –

something dies,

disappears,

disintegrates.

we have crossed into a space that will suffocate us.

II.

what i need to thrive

we create

i lose me

without us.

the traces of our time = us

there is nothing more

what is shared

what is remembered

we trace, together - us.

III.

slow, fragile, stretching

love is an attempt to not-wound.

all building is re-building

all turning-towards is

turning-against old wounds.

love is forgetting betrayed.

a person cannot decide to stop longing

connection is human being.

IV.

in time, all betrayals are mutual.

we trace, together,

bitter sadness and rage

indelible.

the worst moments stick worst of all

and worst of all, they erase the other moments

slow, fragile, stretching

all building is re-building

ok, so start again!

but how to re-build into and onto

a structure disintegrating,

disappearing?

turning against the wounds we gave

each other

and turning, again, into

each other

V.

love is an attempt to not-wound.

love is forgetting betrayed.

slow, fragile, stretching

a person cannot decide to stop longing

connection is human being.
