The Fragility of Life
Reaching out a tentative
and hesitating finger
touching pulsing undulation
and there feeling the warmth
feel the heat of living flesh
both so solid
and too fragile
underneath the pressure
of a single finger.
As the hand touches
and the life moves underneath
towards the sudden realisation
of the fragility of life
how tentative is the grip
on this living world,
and how easily this world
lets us go, to fall to the ground,
leaving us becoming the forgotten.
