before tigers.

There are worse things than
being alone
but it often takes decades
to realize this.
And most often
when you do
it’s too late.
And there’s nothing worse
than

Confession.

I knew that I was dying.
something in me said, go ahead, die, sleep, become as
them, accept.

then something else in me said, no, save the tiniest
bit.
it needn’t be much, just a spark.
a spark can set a whole forest on
fire.
just a spark.
save it.
I think I did.
I’m glad I did.
what a lucky god damned
thing.
