Measure of Victory
Should a thousand expression limn the courage in you?
Never! not a word, not a crude
Not in a way that's true.
Should it bend your body but not your spirit?
Forever valiant, forever bold even so the ail
Your temple tardily buried.
Should you cry, not making crying your daily rhythm?
Despite crawling, despite wriggling pass
This life's cruel riddle.
Should victory be measured with breath and not death?
When life concludes, concluded breath matters not
For winning is not determined by breath.
