Self-Awareness in Amichai’s “Endless Poem”

Yehuda Amichai’s “Endless Poem” is a very layered work of literature. I think that the theme of the poem is self-awareness. The speaker repeats and kind of goes over what is around him as well as what is within him. He says that within him is his heart, and within his heart is a museum. At the end he says again that within his heart is the museum and he just connects everything together. Repeating and reviewing himself and his surroundings helps to strengthen his self-awareness.
