I’m afraid that I don’t have enough imagination

to believe in a god, or in an other

I’m afraid that I don’t want to know

what it means to be another

I’m afraid that I don’t know fear

that I believe it’s different

from being afraid

I’m afraid that I don’t know

you as well as I wish

I’m afraid that I know

how to be alone too well

I’m afraid that without another

I will be alone

of that I am afraid
