Embrace “her”

Baby 

Body forever

Embrace
You ask
Breath deep
.
.
.
.

you ask
too much
too fast
too far 

reality
is not acceptance 

I am not
her

Body
What does it bring 

Life built around it
missed because of it

Broken

Built on
each other
pyramids
rise
fall

collection of bodies
missing
missed 

held
holding
grasping
gasping 

piled too close
Alone

Embrace “her”
They say 

“That’s what they say.
That’s what they say huh?
Yes, that's what they say.
I’ve always wondered this. Who are they?
You know, them.
Them.
Mhm, the inimitable collective them.
And who says we’re supposed to listen to them?
They do!” 

How do we care 

for something
when it’s dying 

How do we choose 

life
when death is just
here

Is there purpose  

in fragility
in babies, in bodies

Where is hope 

in death
in her
