considering all the people
we have lost throughout the years
grandparents parents lovers uncles aunts
if lucky no children
we know that our time to leave this world
will come to pass eventually
and yet
as long as we feel full of life
we prefer not to think of this too often
borne by the vague conviction
that the survivors of our family
will bear the pain of loss
as we did years ago
and live on
