I. Self

Divided,
And whole,
I am one and all
I am nothing at all;
I am the perfect meditation;
The tangible mandala;
Coherently unconscious
And consciously unwell.

II. Shadow

Indifferent and irrational,
Selfish and ruthless,
I am the repressed truth;
The dirty little wish
you want to come true;
Love, love, love,
Love the inexplicable,
Love the raw instinct;
You've never meant anything you ever said.

III. Anima

So soft, so soft
A creature of unbridled light-
Eve in my lust,
Helen in my eyes,
Mary in my soul,
Sophia eternal-
Vengeful virgin whore,
Arms to hold
And soft flesh to kiss.

IV. Animus

Breathe,
A barrel chest
And a beard to match,
Soft hands pickled with callouses;
Everything is full of Gods,
His eyes, his lips-
I envy. I envy.
There are never exceptions.
Ego-bearer,
Lie teller,
I've never met
A woman so obstinate and cold.
