capacity 2

by zara - Aries

Capacity, by hard degrees,
to bear a simple line
when life has brought me what I please
all else is left behind.
as time again, I pass it by,
and time is marked by joy,
the pain inside, that comes to live
to gather, then deploy.
Capacity, by hard degrees,
the cells there, to absorb
my life and breath
my blood to beat
within my current cause
tolerance of all of me-and-
tolerance of pride,
Capacity to hold myself
while in my arms you die.
