I am fire
Stilled to water,

A wave
Lifting from the abyss.

In my veins
The moon-drawn tide rises
Into a tree of flowers
Scattered in sea-foam.

I am air
Caught in a net,

The prophetic bird
That sings in a reflected sky,

I am a dream before nothingness,
I am a crown of stars,
I am the way to die.
