oh how being alive can hurt sometimes

this planet of toil and expiation

was not made for our pleasure

though one could be derelict about purpose here

swayed by the beauties of earth and sea and sky

flowers of the land

birds of the air

stars beyond our sky

and all of it mirrored

in every corpuscle of our blood

oh how being alive can resolve itself beyond joy sometimes
