To Have Not
.
I do not know if I will see another winter.
This one was the most monstrous yet. Before,
youth prevailed. Pain, bone deep spoke
incessantly. Not a giving up, an acceptance.
.
How you are moment by, how you wish
and think, believe, and put off. Decide to live
another one. Make coffee. Or make tea. Choose
to inhale. Lie or truth, satisfaction is not
anyone's lot long. Work is boredom, a
favorite story or song is not the same
a decade before the grave.
.
The me first mantra is protect and thrive,
the you first sacrifice and destitution earned
becomes a lone destiny. If you have always
had, not having will be hard.
