Never Gently
Elegy
You live as long as you’re remembered
Only the dead forget the war
The past and future have been tethered
All that we do has been done before
The weakest man becomes a bullet
The bully mocks a brilliant mind
We all make choices to get through it
To see us through the worst of times
We all have intimate relationships
In the course of life and death
Salty tears cascade a lip
Following our first and final breaths
In between we celebrate
And capture the glorious proof of life
Before we learn to contemplate
Not going gently into that good night
