Sonnet #375
We will meet again, or close enough, for
All that's old is new again when
the face returns reborn into the spin
of ribonucleic acids, and the faces worn
the beating hearts and voices come back
close enough, just about, maybe better
I hope better. Next time, I hope my bonesetter
makes me taller with a softer voice so cracks
won't form where you leaned away from me
And maybe I'll be smarter, and you'll be strong
And when we break each other's bodies
the bruises won't last quite as long
Reset again, perhaps, another time, another we
Ten million years? a billion? All our reincarnating
