fragility

in poetry •  6 years ago 


yes I can see how fragile
I am
how fragile we all are
all of us humans everywhere all around the world
and all of the life we depend on to feed ourselves
and all of the life and existence we love

all of the life and existence
we don’t want to see
die

we live
in such a narrow range
of temperatures

subtle shifts
could
cook
us
all
ahhh
but I also see how tough and inventive
we all are
all of us humans everywhere all around the world
and all of the life we depend on to feed ourselves
and all of the life and existence we love

perhaps some of us or parts of us
perhaps even a poem
might survive
