I Speak

I speak for three-quarters of a century,
but I also speak for eons,
for more than one culture,
for more than one race,
for more than one language,
and perhaps
for more than one
universe,
for more than one
space-time
continuum,
for alternate
realities
and destinies.
We are here
to be free.

We are here
to be free.

I Read Nature

aya goliyase gvwaone goweli ginitloyi,
uduladiiya-dvnede agatisdanete
soi ukadvine,

I read nature like a book,
eagerly awaiting
the next page,
the next chapter.
