Returned Valentine

Originally I learned to die
from watching people
dying all around me
this proved unsustainable
keeping them long enough
to retain some significant detail
when you really comprehend
the impermanence of the world
housekeeping becomes irrelevant
to make art or love you die to
come into the world
you die to get out
but only finding someone
to take with you can give
you a reason to return
