EVEN WHEN WE WRITE POEMS ABOUT IT

Life is a denial of death

in action, in every breath

taken, in each heartbeat felt,

in each hopeful thought cast

towards future time

we deny the inevitability ´

and the reality of our own end,

as long as possible

postponing mortality

beyond the horizon of thought.

Life is about holding

into existence so tightly

that nothing else

seems possible

than us going on,

going on forever.

Until death.
