WHAT WE HAVE

We have a starting point
in life shaped for us
like a geometric sculpture
of Giacometti,
climbing uphills
like Sisyphus
but forced down
by stones and rubble
that give us trouble,
we have darkened sea
with a lark's cry at noon
but we weigh diving
into a day's just surviving,
you make a run
on the starting line
in your life's marathon
but time may run out
even here on the lawn.
