let it

in your life
you will lose your mind

as well as
lovers,
lots of money,
your parents,

possibly
a child

and eventually,
you’ll lose your memory too.

But don’t fret, don’t you count the tears-
life is inexhaustible.

Today is here, and you are not yet
gone.

So open your arms,
own nothing, and thank the miracle
that put you here.
