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
