they’ll tell you that you weigh less than the heartbeat growing inside you
that you mean less than the eventuality of what you were grown for
and if you’re growing another of you, they’ll tell them eventually, too
you can learn not to listen, but they will be there with fables and grapes
and you’ll weigh less than the heartbeat growing inside you, in spite of them
struggle.

you were not frightened because of the shot hand
or height meaning an end; stray fire
you were not frightened because death came upon you
and gazed from many eyes into your shelter
you saw that we carried on, and you were frightened
how we rearranged our lives, as we had been seasoned
around your loss, by your own hand
you saw that we mourned you as individuals but not as a collective
and you were frightened.
bread as rare as peace, and still we carried on
you saw that life went on where death ended, and death began
you saw we carried on, and you were frightened
you saw that life could not be tamed, though life be taken
you feared it given, again and again, from inside of us
you saw we carried on, and you carried on, taking
and you were frightened, knowing
life could be taken
and given again, without your knowing, beyond your shot hand,
beyond your field, your shelter, many eyes, stray fire
the giving could not be broken, no
nor when it was over, could you force it forward,
upward, from your shelter

Because I love, I love for the World only, and not for myself.
Because I love, I forget to remember myself.
Because I love, I love for the World, completely.
Because I love, I know myself.

if you search for hate, you will find it.
love will help you rebury it.
