I
(No. 4)
I?
I am a Direction
Behind the signpost of my eyes.
I point into the reaches of infinity
Heading where I go.
Catch me? Pin me down?
I am a combination
A look, an idea
Knitted into the texture of my bones and moods
A touch, a contact in the present
From and leading to
Entirely different things.
I am in flux.
I am A flux
Of corners, facets, surfaces
That slither and juggle unceasingly.
I am the light
Behind the light of my eyes
The intention behind the idea
The motion behind the movement of my chemistry.
Catch me? Pin me down?
I am an accumulation of yesterdays
That add up to more than just today.
When I integrate the me with my I
Then
I am who am.
