...and in that moment I accepted
how completely disconnected I was
with the lack of the net of her maternal love,
and the absence of paternal guidance
to catch me and snatch me
away from the jaws of gravity.
And around me, I saw no savior.
No outstretching hand
from a friend or a neighbor.
No progeny to honor me
when my place in the economy
has long been supplanted by youth.
"Born alone; die alone"
is the truth we'll all acknowledge
once we're done with wishful thinking
and a god's mythical promise.
So I'll live and I'll love my Luv
as if I will never see tomorrow.
