If I change, if I am not who I was,

if it's a different me who again and again

steps in the cold stream and feels

the polished stones under his feet,

my toes,

if,

then the mistakes of the past

would have not been mine

- then I would be a victim

of those past incarnations,

abused by those vanished men

who left me in their skin.

I refuse that.

I am the sum of my past errors.
