Master

Master

look for that master

the one 

without slaves

the one 

whose companionship

only brings forth 

Lovers

whose teaching

is less information

more elixir

the student drinks

and absorbs

so thoroughly

that it becomes

the indelible ink 

of the text

of her very being

and is evident

less in what she knows

and more 

in what she becomes
