I don’t care
what you believe in,
as long as you admit
that there is something first and foremost,
yesterday, today, and tomorrow
beyond life and death
undeniable,
beyond your front door, your morning coffee, your Instagram feed
Life
is the spirit between your collar bones,
beneath your chest,
the heartbeat Earth lent you
asking only two things in return:
don’t forget
where you came from;
don’t forget
to give back.
