The First Emperor

(I am not) the first exoplanet
orbiting a solar-type star
For none yet exist, so I’m told
Just me, here at the centre
Of things

Without ME
There is nothing
To see
Without ME

Write that in stone
Put it up there
Impossible not to SEE
Make it clear
There is only ME
To SEE
ME

the first exoplanet
orbiting a solar-type star
My body and its fixed borders
Encompass and Create
The Real that is empty
Empty but ME

There is nothing
To see you see
Empty but ME

It is only ME
And nothing more
(what could there be?)
Write that in stone
Put it up there
The very reason for distinction
Formed and forged
There is only ME
To SEE
ME

The ONLY/Only ME
