THE POEMS

I Will Live

I will live 
After the sun has burst into a million stars 
And the moon fallen out of the sky; 
I will watch man set his first foot on Mars 
And witness our universe die. 

I will live 
After Death has come knocking upon my sill, 
After Love has blinded all men; 
For Love nor Death can extinguish my will, 
I will live, and then, live again! ​

(Written in January, 1997)

I Will Live was first published in Linkway Magazine, in February 1999.
