Inspired Again

so close to raking the blade vertical with the vein &
then it comes like a speeding truck
straight for the face &
unadulterated,
pure &
unabashed, in all of its 
well deserved
glory,
someone
somewhere else,
inspires---
and the continuation of life remains
and the continuation of life remains
and the continuation of life
remains.
