Still beating

And when you're

barely breathing

dressed in starlight

are you... still grateful

for this life,

this Life

the life you're

wearing out

side in

the one

that lets you

make-

believe

and take the good

and the bad in

and leaven it,

into a person

floating, in space

between the almost

dead and risen?
