A/N: Written for the 100 prompts challenge at The Poetry Craze, #047 – alive


Birth and Life

Life…was truly an interesting thing:
not in tandem with birth
as they believed

Because they were just clones,
just fakes
and yet the chance to live on was granted
to them, the price already paid
(though what price that was
they never learnt)
and continue on, restored…
Or perhaps reborn

In a world that had made a pocket
outside logic for them:
for their existence
and those others
who they'd touched in that
incomprehensible loop
Of time

That allowed even that impossible life
to continue
until their death.
