What is staying alive? To possess
A great hall inside a cell.
What is it to be human? by Waldo Williams, Poetry – April 2008

MERELY HUMAN
by
Jamie Dedes
·
finding strength and meaning as we go along,
though often caught in a swirl, dizzy spinning
of our mortality; our gender, time and place –
rash precipitation of preposterous events
and disgraceful cruelty, and the over-heated
flowing of crazy lives and loves, gritty and
grim, yet somehow grace-filled and dauntless –
like weeds pushing up pebbled concrete slabs,
bearing our path’s weight, reaching for the sun
