while the other brings us joy. I choose joy.

Adding one to my count of days, or postponing
a feared death by another day do not inspire me.

feel the wind newly on my skin,
touch a new fear, a new anger,
and with focused intent and good fortune,
find an ample measure of my own joy.

between my feelings about events
and the physical occurrences of those events.

any role in any of the events of my life
is entirely without fault.
