Back Next Into One

For 15 years my therapist said:
"make the saint and the whore
into one"
and for 15 years my therapist said:
"make the killer and the compassionate
into one"
And only when I threw my therapist
out of the window
raped and killed her
and felt my sorrow
did I understand
what she meant.
