Lease

When I was given a new lease

on life

another´s expired.

Why he and not I?

Pure chance decides

who will stay

who will go

in the prime of life,

a new chance

or the final curtain.

I do not wonder

why I am still here.

I can only cry

at the loss

and know that I

could not have offered

my life for his.

But maybe it is

an illusion, my staying.

I too will go

one day, into nothing.

Tomorrow or ten years

from now.

Proactive

My dislike for a word

is complete when

from goosebumps

to grimace

I can´t refrain.

What does it mean?

Strike the pro

if you are a pro

keep the active

that´s all you need.

You will help

my face and skin

stay in place

and I thank you

from where my

heart resides,

for realizing when

a word says it all

already.
