    without existence

I am not a little toy brick man
with U shaped hands
and interchangeable heads
but the world I live in

The Tablets

Here's the half
Of the tablets of stones
That's written
The laws of men
The other half
Is left to you
That's written
In your heart.

i am clay,
I am fire...
I'm a body of people,
I'm human nowadays,
but another day I will be
only light
only spirit... !
