live!

You don't stand again

because you're not broken

You stand again

because the galaxy needs your light

and like an organic starfire

you absorb carbon pain

and exhale cosmic forces

of love and good bones

for the vessels

on docile starflight

You

lady 

or gentle

man

human

bona fide delight 

with warrior's pride

 

..and if you have

any fucking more

to give

..any love letters left within

 

then stay standing 

and leave all of what's left

upon life's uncertain doorstep

and kindly hope it's enough

to let someone in

and not just survive

but live!
