What is a human
I ask God
in the dark
World weary
of talking points
explanations
and words
…………….words
………………….words
What exactly
is this human being thing?
I wonder? Trying not to count
the bombs going off–
Way worse than the second between
Thunder
……….and lightening
And the latest government crises
does not even deign to mention
hungering children
…………or elderly
And my trans friend cries
a little bit
and my child whispers
and their abused peer
who they called CPS about
to no avail
What is being
the stars glimmer back at me
and I try to catch their twinkles
and remember the taste of tea
the sigh at the end of good book
the snuggles of my kitty cats when I am sad
Children
I am always
Forever
Blessed by the magic
that are children
Human
why define?
I think as
I talk to myself
and remember
Re-Peopling the world
Over and Over again
without conditionals
just Peopling
Because every single
Person
Counts
Being
Human
Human
Being
Humans
Being
Human
