I Am

I am the countless dystopian galaxies
I am the vast empty space between the
infinite atoms of my body I am
the pulsing electric trickster that
travels those twisting corridors within

so that when you glance into my
eyes you see the spark that is who I am

where my flesh ends nothing
begins I am a vast stretch of ocean
I am ashes and stardust I am that
archaic flowing river of blood whose
headwaters heard the pistol crack at
the birth of time

I am more mystery that meaning
I will spend my days trying to convince
myself it is the other way around
or I will surrender
and be everything that I am.
