Urn
There is a yearning
in us all.
It starts with a ride
to an exhibition
called living.
The clowns, the motorcycles,
the supermen. They lift our images,
and we lift them.
There is a genuine love for these
circuses,
because they point to the here-ground
and the skies.
Let's embrace this urn.
Let's live vitally,
Til this urn has
little meaning,
but a small pocket
of our significance.
