Nice! “Because”, is the perfect answer to why we write poetry. So many possibilities, reasons, inspirations behind that magical word. I agree with Damian. Very clever write, my friend.

Poetry, or just word doodles are medication for many. The mind finds its hiding place and sentences are comforting to spill. I know some who survive by them.

The light only blinds and befuddles us, while darkness softly and thoroughly embraces our truth, regardless. There is indeed something special about nothingness -the void- where everything and nothing is possible.
Superb write, my friend!

Powerfully penned, Tim. Into the book it belongs! The boxing metaphor is clever, people fighting for their life are very familiar with pugilist philosophy. Because it is indeed a fight, and some defy the odds for a while, because they possess a fighters heart. Excellent work, so sorry for your loss. Appreciate you.
