Our Againness will save us
There ain’t nothing new about us
or the wideness and wonder of the world.
We’ve been here before and some
version of ourselves shall return -
- here again and again.
And then I imagine the urgent
compulsion within the human confines
to be remembered, again and again.
In the direct refusal to forget where we are,
wherever we are, our againness will save us.
