Alive

I am alive.
That is the point,
isn’t it?

Life.

Being alive is the point.
It is metaphor.
It is corporeal.

Life.
Alive.

Ever yearning for more.

Not denial,
for that is death.
As metaphor.
As corporeal.

Holding this most precious gift,
like a beating heart
in your hands,
and running with it
running with a smile,
with a curse,
with redemption
in your wake.
