I am the bird turd on the
chocolate Sunday
i am the dirt on the floor of eternity
I am the ashes from the last cigarette
of the condemned
I am Beethoven's ninth symphony
playing in the head of the poet
that walks into the final battle
between light and dark
I am the first move
in the last chess game
I am what you made me
by any other name
I am not a Picasso,
but I paint my poems
like zeros on fire
on a canvas of black
those zeros in the sun burn and turn
around themselves, got to teach us
to learn
I wander the museum of the mind
the library of creation
the alley of death and rebirth
I am a poet a speck of stardust
on the golden statue of Buddha
