I Saw Myself as a title also makes me think of Song of Myself. Gather in that ring of bone. You could be anywhere.

I really enjoyed this poem.Depth in meaning.

To get the background on this poem, check out Lew's astonishing Letters (Volume 1) from Grey Fox Press. At the time, Welch had found a cabin and isolated himself from friends and family in order to come home to the planet. All of the Hermit Poems, of which this is the culmination, are amazing feats of simplicity and resonance. I highly recommend you read them all in Ring of Bone, his collected poems.
