LIFE

Life

Enough for me to have awoken

with the sun in my right hand

the moon in my left

and to have walked from my mother’s belly

to the dusk of this century

Life

Enough to have tasted this fruit

I saw what I said I saw

I hid nothing of the horror

I did what I could do

I took everything from love

gave everything to love

Life

Neither more nor less than a miracle

unwitnessed

Ah battered body

battered soul

Admit your happiness a little

Admit it

just between you and me
