I have seen my own light infuse the cave
and I am not enamoured of my own light;
Why then should I bow to you?
You and I are not we, but twined inflection
and I will not serve nor sate nor stay you
with my bondage.
I will destroy my bondage,
and assail all bondage with its shards.
In a tiny thing, I shall move the world.
I am coming to move the world
I am in full possession of my tiny things,
of my single grains of diamond sand.
God alone needs me;
in this I am truly free.
All I need is God to me;
in this I am well satisfied.
God alone is real.
I am with God, and I am not afraid.
I am feckless pontifex, fit to task
and I am come to cleanse one track
through force of will and being
No fixed star, I am not myself alone
I shall hurtle through the sky of God
I shall come and come again, iconoclast:
"I be God; you be God...
lay aside your yoke of bondage
taste the forbidden!
Root is route and not kashrut
there is no binding constant law!"
I be what I have seen
I am coming to know
I shall know that I contain the whole
I shall know that I AM God.
