UNTIL I'M THROUGH

UNTIL I'M THROUGH
1/28/2014
 
frail as I am
useless
and so goddamn tired of feeling wrecked
over this lack of love
(or the understanding thereof)
I will not
release my body to the earth
nor my spirit to the night
not yet
not till I have tasted
every last 
delicious bit of
living.
   it doesn't matter
who loves me
and who does not.
it doesn't matter
who wants me
and who does not.
it doesn't matter that sometimes I get tired of breathing
as if it is so much weight to bare 
each next breath ~
it doesn't matter
I still have living
left
 to do
and the night
can wait
until I'm through.
