"mother of otherness", fear me
who
who
who

the owl knows better than I

wise, unbecoming

a fact among uncertainties
a night among days
blind in the light,
multitudinous eyes
see only in the dark
the fool, the fool
"who is it that can tell me who I am"
like a mirror catching a beam
I reflect all I am and all I see
I am none but you
who
