all the paintings we’ll never paint
all the pictures we’ll never take
all the books we’ll never read
all the movies we’ll never see
all the words we’ll never say
all the songs we’ll never hear
all the places we’ll never go
all the food we’ll never taste
all the friends we’ll never make
all the sex we’ll never have
all the things we’ll never know
all the joy we’ll never feel
all the pain we’ll never heal
all the novels and poems we’ll never write
–
makes everything we do
more sacred
