A painfull crossing

This is one good thoughtful poem. Having seen the film myself I'll have to say that in my estimate you can take the full credit to the ethical/existential thoughts in your poem.
Having a very secular background, still Passover with the main theme of liberation from slavery (personally communally nationally -or on any level which 'binds' us, was always my favorite festival.
But you went to the subtle under tones, places we mostly we don't like to dwell on. The pain and fear we experience before we transition into a better place. And I am not talking just about external resistance. Perhaps the most tantalizing is our own resistance born of inertia and fear. I think I‘ll pick this poem as a read. .

A PK Response

Thanks, Kolkore, for that kind and thoughtful response. As a PK, the story isn't new to me, but it only struck me then, as I watched the movie, how who we are is built, "grown", if you will, by pain. I'm a bit of a worrier, a "yes-the-glass-is-half-full-but-that-doesn't-make-i t-less-empty" kinda person, so this is just the sort of thing that appeals to me.

Thanks again! I appreciate you!

Too true -

too many things are Janus-faced.
