I am a number (II)
| 5 | Forged in time’s fire my golden figure rises open to the past and the future I count my digits All Present yet only half way there |
| 6 | I can be factored into selves from former lives each one more potent than I am Unmultiplied I disappear |
| 7 | Last prime before the count of time halts and the great mystery begins |
| 8 | How did it come to that |
| 9 | I have no time |
| 10 | Decem |
