remember your death
note to self
recollect this fact—
every thing returns
home—
no choice
blue whales and the
smallest shrew
all have an allotted
span—you do too
what to make of
this apparent time?
it’s both precious
and doesn’t matter
even stars sputter out
arrivals and leave-taking
can you celebrate
your homecoming?
the heart of the matter 
aweâ¦this too. very timely. Arvada

Thank you.
I didn’t realize this poem was going to come out on September 11th. Interesting synchronicity.
Love,
