physics says:
it is impossible for a single body
to have infinite mass or energy

and yet you do –
oh god, you do

i am not a scientist but i know that
even science cannot measure your heart
or your hope or your fight out in teaspoons

even numbers cannot contain how precisely
your limbs and the layers of your skin are
built for the singular purpose of being

and darling, if mass can neither be created nor
destroyed – then surely, surely, nothing can stop
all that infinity in you from fighting to survive
