I want to be a samurai three hundred years ago<BR>
watching the sun advance upon the sea:<BR>
a man with sinews of a bear<BR>
and mind of Buddha.<BR>
<BR>
I shall have such arms<BR>
to make curved steel catch the sun just so.<BR>
I shall feel blood like red honey<BR>
sticking to my fingers.<BR>
Men will tug upon my sleeves<BR>
while women swoon for my sweaty thighs.<BR>
And all will know <BR>
and tuck their heads<BR>
in honor.<BR>
<BR>
I am great<BR>
so great<BR>
that I can shed my pride<BR>
my youth <BR>
my grief<BR>
my want for love.<BR>
<BR>
Breath alone<BR>
naked to the mountain.</FONT></P>
