I know more than I know*
I have taken you within me
Within me as my contradiction
Yes I have bought into John’s words
Bought into all of the possibilities
Which your contradictions might gift to me
It did not take a little time
It was not without pain
Or suffering; yet I was steadfast
Here my belligerence helped me
For on many occasions I could have capitulated
Yet always I hung on in there, however fragile
Now, today, I smile; a smile
From I know not where, other than
From all of those contradictions
Which you brought with you
Contradictions, which one by one you handed over
To become more secure, within my domain
