Arpeggio of Human Gods
What am I
that I did not feed,
that I did not mold by hacking at with a butter knife until I
become again in this moment now?
When an umbilical cord blurred myself and the Other,
did I not revoke it in the vomit of that amniotic fluid to choke on
my own breath?
Which poisonous spectrum can invert my agitation
that I stirred from a cell slab
to craft the unrefined world
with the danty nubs of my nails
that exhume
symbols of my belief?
And who is to say that I won't continue,
while this existence reframes at my successive review, even to death
and the evolution of lungs to helms of space-time?
What
am I
that can neither be undone nor omitted?
What
am I
that I cannot be contorted to an end?
