DECLARATION-21ST CENTURY

… I go light, nothing remains;
the fire has consumed my mortal being and belongings,
my reflection or duality, its fragments or portions:
my last light
and my last shred;
… now I am and dwell in the intangible,
the reason why I hear and see, feel and resurrect everywhere,
and there where I sense the earthly disaster with which I once used and destroyed my freedom;
everything, then, I have given: car, clothes, trousseaus, parties, bridges and concepts,
loves and memory,
everything,
and so the bones, my very skin and my own souls,
like a fiery torrent, everything, everything is gone;
… the novelty of the resurrected is this universal audience or voice,
– its harmony –
and also, alas, its vast nakedness: the nameless peace;
…no, there's no more time here to save more clock hours;
a new, endless phoenix reunites mind and heart and ignites song:
the shadow of light no longer exists in it.
