my ‘evil twin’ is held at bay for the moment

I’ve pondered him much

wondering “who is the real me

the one who blesses or the one who curses?”


even that's too simple a designation

for a concept too complex

for the daily mind to process

by pondering too much


how much harm has come?

how much healing will go?


I feel that ‘twin’ scratching inside my skull

best give him a wide berth for now

I have too many little things to do

things that will grow unruly if left unattended…
