I forgive you everything—
    Your nearly honest acting,
Your pretense, the imitation of faithfulness
Abuse of trust, exposing me to laughter
The loneliness, into which you thrust me, the whispers all around
The weeping, deep inside me, the weeping with no sound.
     Just tell me why
Did I deserve it.
Now all is known. It’s finally in the open.
Your timing is good,
      Your planning—perfect,
I forgive you everything: The agony, sorrow too,
The only pain I care about is the pain that I caused you.

Stinging flies, come closer, taste my blood
I’ll figure for myself how to sink into the mud
