we are all a collection
of short stories
made to look whole
one fluid, linear,
looping tale.
within each story
no chapters
only worlds
self sufficient
enough
to undo whatever follows
or precedes.
we are
all
a collection
of short stories
and, loved ones
people
will borrow needed passages
recognised sentences,
will see mirrored parts
of themselves
born
alone
travelled
still.
let them take
it makes room
for all you will take,
too.
the parts are independent
must have autonomy
from and for
the other.
we
are all
a collection
of short stories
the only way,
to survive
a life lived
whole.
