Pur autre vie – v2

For the life of another.

How often that is true

That we live for another

That our stake, our place

is tied to a life not our own

Not owning it outright

In fee simple absolute for perpetuity

tethered to another

to a beating heart

Without encumbrances, conditions,

Or risk of open

Language of the Law

Wielding its power

The connectedness we feel

Share with our fellows

Guide, limit, check,

Our choices, if made alone
