of evidence to say
things are still working.
and to err, to cuss.
to take chances despite
innumerable setbacks.
to care, to hate and
to miserably embrace
our own imperfections.
to lie, to swear.
to tumble down and
spectacular fail,
but still be humane.
and to still love and long
despite betrayals,
and to live through
inevitability of death-
wounds in the flesh
indicate something
inside is still beating-
a tiny flicker has to be
left in night sky to insist
dawn is still not a myth.
let pain be proof of
pulse and life be a
rebellion against
indifference.
