vulnere ability / Twenty-one days with my Father – 2026

vulnis
vulnere
vulnere able
in need not of protection
for of nature all is safe

Vulnerability happens
Vulnerability is not instructed
Neither punished onto the soul
nor out of the body
nor fed through formative milk
but here
something inside
combined with your first arm lulls
it happened

Absorbed
year after year
in conviction, deep
that you only utter truth
not belief
truth
out of your mouth
from the movement of your hands
whether sitting down on a stage
whether standing up on the same

Love filled me
infused me
skipping conviction
mere truth

Seven decades to today
astound at statements from individuals that brush strongly against what I breathe in being

vulnerable (simpered)
