and all defences are giving in and away 
and we become what we are
all alchemy and metamorphoses
      Ruler    Prey    Warrior    Sage 
Stranger   Beast    Servant    Lover
       Sorceress    Friend    Villain    Orphan
Wanderer    Maiden    Hunter    Beggar
      Hero    Poet    Beloved    Wonder
and we swap and change and swap and exchange 
and what is found is lost and found again 
and what is found was never lost
and there is joy and pain of joy
and pain of the pain
and the terror and bliss of the passing nature of all 
and the timelessness of bliss and terror 
and the earthshattering release
and the rupture 
and the rapture
        breaks the ground
and all the coordinates are fixed in flowing flux
and the abyss is full of stars 
and the letting in and out of anything
and everything just goes on and on
