To Be Human

Photo by TUBARONES PHOTOGRAPHY

I have learned not to neglect the physical

because I live on the physical.

How can I ignore the earth when I was born from it?

Not the first womb.

Not the first place my human self called home.

And I have learned not to neglect the spiritual

because it is higher than the physical.

It will help me to transcend the works of my flesh.

Both important.

Both necessary.

Neither forsaken.


Oh nothing, just getting back to my poetry.
