i am chosen
i am drawn from the bones of the Kalevala
i am ephemeral
i am the bitter taste in your mouth
i am handcrafted and ornate
i am rubble at your feet
i am empty
i am Väinämöinen
i am a suffusion of cloud
i am a vision of the birth of the Universe
i am Planck’s Constant
i am the written word
i am stasis incarnate
i am an Archean memory
i am the cool breeze in your hair
i am flotsam
i am jetsam
i am the aftermath
i am the epilogue
i am immortal
i am sculpted from ancient polished stone
i am anodyne
i am the storm that surges in your belly
i am wild and untamed
i am Filteau
i am your beginning
i am Persephone Papillon
i am a shadow of the night
i am the exhale of a newborn star
i am the hero of the howling wolves
i am beyond preternatural
i am depth perception
i am thirst embodied
i am the thorn in your side
i am sacred
i am scared
i am a dark soul about to take flight
i am a little girl upon a beam of light
i am the exhale of a newborn star
i am the hero of the howling wolves
i am beyond preternatural
i am depth perception
i am thirst embodied
i am the thorn in your side
i am sacred
i am scared
i am a dark soul about to take flight
i am a little girl upon a beam of light
I think soul's inventory as a whole is amazingly awesome, but this is my favorite part.
The line "i am the exhale of a newborn star" is what caught my attention in the first place.
It flows well and embodies both the yin and the yang. Or I could also say that it's the juxtaposition. It ends on a good note, transcending with "i am a little girl upon a beam of light".
You are beyond me
Persephone
like an ancient
iridescent nebula
The exhale of
a newborn star
and the sudden
fury of
a cosmos
awakening
I will forever
orbit
but never
arrive

I especially like the "I am sacred, I am scared". the entire peice is very well done, I get a good feeling about the writer's divine take..."I am sacred, I am scared" is the most relatable to me. very good.

too often the mouse
is thought to hold
a hidden strength
a dextrous solution
in the face of some
insurmountable
inexplicable
indecipherable
pain
I am not this mouse
I will not pluck thorn from paw
I will die with a broken back
a sniff away from
the prize
I don't venture over here that often, but i'm glad i caught this thread. Beautiful.

When I was 16 I was staying at a girl's house who lived across the street from me. We were awakened by a mouse that had managed to trap itself in a small empty trashcan that was relatively close to the bed. She took a pair of scissors and attempted to make cuts on the little mouse's neck so it wouldn't make noise again. Somehow she inadvertantly cut the mouse's tongue off. It squeaked and squeaked while she cried and cried. I picked the mouse up by it's soft tail and took it outside. Instead of letting it suffer I poked holes in it with a garden rake. It didn't squeak anymore.
I am not a hero.
I did not transcend the boundaries of my being human.
But I'm a perfect gardener.

One broken body
One ceaseless breath
Into the night
And I am gone
Vestige of pain
Silent squealing
Into the night
And I am free
Singular vibration
Energy inhaled
By the night
For I am still
A feeble mouse
Too tired to fight
I want to let go
Into the night
and the fanbase just keeps getting bigger...i'm really glad this was bumped...it made me read the rest of your poems...Flow, Luna Canto, Treading Water and Fatal Flaws are the ones i liked the most...and of course A Sad Man...nothing i say can really describe my thoughts and feelings while reading that poem (and some of the others as well)...so i won't even try to do that.
respect shax...you have an amazing talent and an even more amazing spirit.
I loved this one too. My favorite lines is, "I am the epilogue." It sounds so omnipotent. It's like the character of your poem knows just a little be more than they're letting on. It's really magnificent.

Yes, I try not to give much away. It can turn out to be quite dangerous.
There is a thread in Lateralus explaining that schism is all about tetris and some being is stuck on level 5 and your reading that 5 times is all aligned. Should check it out.
