we work so hard to make something
that will suffer in peace
and die with beauty:
a child or an essay
a company or a state.
now for how they’ll turn out,
nothing to it but to wait.
if all goes right,
you'll live a life
longer and sweeter than mine
before succumbing
to the same mystery.
long as i'm playing God
i'll need a Jesus
to keep things interesting.
