I Am Not I
March 8, 2022
I am not I.
I am the pen that pours out
its blood on the battlefield of paper.
I am the ancient lullaby
sung by the stars.
I am the infinite dreams of a library.
I am the ravenous fire
in the veins of the earth.
I am the hope of lost fireflies.
I am the eagle that shelters
cities beneath his wings.
I am the cinnamon-hued heart
of hot apple cider.
I am the loneliness
of an asteroid.
I am the final prayer
of a melting glacier.
