After
When everything is done
With all the apples and the oranges
The sixes and the sevens
All the things that didn’t merit
Placing on a scale
Of our making
You and I will look out over
A silver sea
Hoping to see a fin or tail
The nose of something
Welcoming that says,
There’s still living here
We’ll hope for the best
Skip fearing for the worst
There will be life or won’t be
Maybe we’ll have
A part in it
In spite of all our peers have done
We can live along the edge
Recalling everything behind
Until
All memory has changed
Opposites are lived out
As they should be
Amen
