I am gone,
lost any sense of wanting the wine
Of the nowhereness ask me,
I don't know where I am.
At times I plunge
To the bottom of the sea,
At times, rise up
Like the Sun.
At times,
the universe is pregnant by me,
At times I give birth to it.
The milestone in my life
Is the nowhereness,
I don't fit anywhere else.
This is me:
A rogue and a drunkard,
Easy to spot
In the tavern of Lovers.
I am the one shouting hey ha.
They ask me why I don't
Behave myself.
I say, when you
Reveal your true nature,
Then I will act my age.
Last night, I saw Goodness getting drunk.
He growled and said,
I am a nuisance, a nuisance.
A hundred souls cried out, but
We are yours, we are yours, we are yours.
You are the light
That spoke to Moses and said
I am God, I am God, I am God.
I said Beloved, who are you?
He said, I am you, I am you, I am you
