Not Cardinal

Be one, two or many,

Be another or others.

 

Air that inspires me to be

(One, two or many).

Fair fires that breaks me into

(Another or others).

 

Water that smothers and takes

The reason of my birth.

Earth that sustains the sky,

Is you that handles my sun.

 

A sigh of candles for any one

Who wants a clue.

A breath of a former me

That blew death free.

 

An echo flow informer

Arises and goes with disguises,

For he knows his ghosts.

And so I stay. I and my host.

 

I'm not done of be

One, two or many,

I'd rather not be

Another or others.

Just be.
