A Human with More than Nine Lives

 

It’s not true you only live once. You only die once. You live lots of times if you know how.

Falling

Practicing leaps and jumps and
making friends with the air

we had to practice landing.

When we really went gyroscopic in the air

we spent much time practicing falling.

Good lesson for living life.

Intimate Ally

Translated from English into English

The voraciousness of love
the fiesta, the fiasco

The audaciousness of
kindness, the soulfulness, the grin

The chagrin of thoughtlessness
the lost moment, the lost touch

The consciousness of the future
the hope, the help
