Tiny Life: A New Poem
Tiny Life
I long to be content with life
as tiny as it seems
amid the vast array of galaxies
and the cacophony of dreams
of otherwise and other ways—
the hue and cry of how
this moment could be so much more
than a speck of here and now.
More? How could it be?—
the lovers’ quickened breath, the moment in their eyes
as distant starlight finds them—
And the distant star? It dies.
Life is but a tiny thing.
The universe is vast.
The moment—it is everything,
but the moment doesn’t last.
