I, Me and Other
Poetry by Gill Schwartz


KA, THE OTHER THAT COMES WITH

Known since childhood visions
as my Ka, my Double, my Shadow of Light,
there is this Other that is only mine,
that make me me.

Not delusion nor astral entity,
but the Other that holds my identity beyond
the limitations and circumstances
of my human, world-bound self.

This Other is spokesbeing of my Essence,
the Self I cannot grasp as long as I imagine
that I am other than It.
Ka is my link between known and Unknowable.

He is the hidden substance, the spark, the breath
that gives this flesh self life.
When this image will perish, we remerge
to return to our home, the Source.
