not Hindu, Buddhist, Sufi, or Zen.
Not any religion
or cultural system.
I am not from the eastor the west,
not out of the ocean or up from the ground,
not natural or ethereal,
not composed of elements at all.
I do not exist, am not an entity in this world
or the next, did not descend from Adam and Eve
or any origin story.
My place is the placeless, a trace of the traceless.
Neither body or soul. I belong to the beloved,
have seen the two worlds as one
and that one call to and know,
first, last, outer, inner, only that
breath breathing human being.
