AMOR FATI

find for closer gods
a prayer in every
acknowledgement and denial
through every triumph and ordeal
sit in the wisdom that you grow
through the body
and will come to the stars
don’t the nights tumble
top-heavy with loneliness?
don’t the days charge
with what you can’t and must?
believe in evil
and believe in love
the tumult and fast passions
that have rued you
is the same strident will
to devote and be devoted to,
beat and be rent
free as time,
we are the spirit we curate
and are born to
