My World Is Made of More Than Me

My World is Made of More than Me
David J Walker

My world is made 
of more than me

               And no-thing more 
that’s meant to be 
no-thing other 
		than dirt and water
mixed together 
		into mud
and what’s forever 
into blood
and what’s for never
		mimicry

no-thing more
		then what’s meant to be
no-thing air
	no-thing water 
no-thing mother
			no-thing father
no-thing-
	ness
no-thing more
		no-
		thing- 
			less
		no-
		   thing 
hanging
	over me

nothing 
that is
		unknown 
			to me
nothing that was never
	meant to be
