I Am This Thing

I am this thing that does not run away, that does not see the light.

I am this thing that does not see the light, that does not run away.

I am both these things at once, but...and

Are they different things,

Are they the same thing.

I step from the threshold onto the hard, hot dirt

I step from the threshold onto the once molten infancy

Of the world.

I am all places at once.

If I am anything, I am the sky.

If I am anything, I am what is unseen and everywhere. 

I am all things.

I am all things.

I am everything

But I am nothing in these first hours

In which you no longer love me.
