Whether the heart latches on first
like beggarticks on a passing pair
of socks, or if it’s the body

that stumbles and remembers
as it falls a world resplendent,
everything shines in that light.

Is the passing of that joy
written on the walls
of each heart by a fiery hand?

Or was it that you and I
found ourselves numbered
among those fated to fail?
