To come alive again
and if reincarnation
also rings true,
what terrible confusion
it would cause
what luck too! Poor Christ,
he would have to give
me a year to decide
which body to take from
all that I had lived
what a masochistic
task to undertake
- having to turn down
so many at one time
i would never even one -
without those knives
poking at the heart
