Not Christian or Jew or Muslim,
Not Hindu, Buddhist, Sufi, or Zen.
Not any Religion or Cultural System.
I am not from the East or the West,
Not out of the Ocean or up from the Ground,
Not natural or ethereal,
Not composed of elements at all,
I do not exist.

I am not an entity in this world
or the next,
did not descend from Adam or Eve,
or any origin story.
My place is placeless,
A trace of the traceless.
Neither body or soul.

I belong to the beloved,
have seen the two worlds as one
and that one call to and know,
first, last, outer, inner, only that
breath breathing human being.
