Aphiemi

Why is it always
that we resist the pain
but embrace the fear?

Aphiemi...

We say that fear grasps us.
But it is we who grasp fear.

We clutch her with every power.

"Divorce, untie, or break that knot again."
We are knotted with fear,
But it is we who wove the tie.

It is a passive, not an active release, I think.
It is aphiemi. It is not ekballow.

What is pain, when it is not accompanied by fear?

I would like to know.
