POETRY: "EXODUS"

"EXODUS" (*)

The day

You landed 
On me 
I bore meteors 
And dust. 

I became

The Moon's Daughter

A second femme fatale

Another cryptic myth.

I was grey and black

Mixed with white. 

You found me 

Half-dead 

Half-naked

Half-human 

And you transformed 

Me.

Now,
I drink the universe 

With a simple glance.

I AM THAT I AM.

(*) The book of Exodus is the second book of the Old Testament. It narrates the escape of the Israelites from Egypt. When Moses encounters God in a burning bush and he asks for His name, God answers: "I AM THAT I AM"
