Already I feel
the weight of days passing by
without a second

thoughts I might have had
were it not for radiant
change within our cells

how does the body
keep happening in this way?
how does the descent 

let us forget not
without incident only
this face staring back

I would not be here 
without this tense this presence
the future better

having you with us in it
