borrowed

I am traceless
and faceless
filled with knowing
yet not known
walking the life
I was granted

called seeker
wife, mother
teacher, poet
old woman
I am none
of these

they are shawls
I slip on
and slip off
useful

I am breath
in a lifesuit
borrowed
for a while
before I must
give it back
and yield

	- Amrita Skye Blaine
