Lucky to be alive;
breathing cool air
gasping absent air.
An unfinished portrait.
Lucky.
Lucky to be young;
faced with uncertainty,
dared by uncertainty.
An unpaid expense.
Lucky.
Lucky to be sheltered;
living in moderation,
forced into moderation –
an unforeseen event.
Lucky.
Lucky to be welcome;
standing in a doorway,
crouching beneath the doorway –
not so welcome after all.
