"Leave," he said in a firm voice.
"Leave now, or forever withhold your peace."
"You're detached, you aren't right here."
Right spoke to left in comforting reassurance.
"I will cause the hurt, but I will exult,

Drip into the basin, your fear of revelation.
Secrete at once the discomfort you've harbored.

Fear you will act,
Or that you never will.
Both equally terrifying.
