SUNKEN deep down I lie, with my ego
Yet you ask where's the ego?
But it is the ego that has been since my birth
the glory of glories!
It is the mounting plenty to the penniless:
The more you buy up, the more it multiplies…
I am, I am, I am !
The great Eagle in its home one with its Rider ...
One gulpful it takes in its yawning beak
and is again agape for yet another –
I am, I am, we are – each and everyone.
Whatever it is – universal or familial or communal –
It always conjugates: I am, Lam, We are, We are ...
However universal, familial or communal
It is I, I, I.
That will come one day, possess and fulfil – the Supreme Cause
In answer to the slow-stepping Old Time – the Raven's caws.
