They say live
live alone
straitlaced as an
arrow meant
for that
one gruelling
dot
Live for the
ambition
of the skies
and never the
gravity of
the ground.
I say
fall and rise
fire and air
swept in
torrents
up there
swinging
for burn or tide
downs.
I say create
and destroy
live still
and die all ways
change
and change
until time stops
its
crackle
and bustle
Every waking
day
Is both
a funeral and
a birth right
I say create
as we all
write our stories
amidst the
downpour of
life
and the ruins
in our heads.
