of all creation,
below that big red deficit,
see the names
of those who
would not
balance life
and love,
given
or
taken.

Brilliantly said. The lack of balance when it comes to living and loving can create the kind of chaos that destroys all things… and creates a lot of emptiness.

I want my name in the imbalance, in those goaded into striving for more than an easy balance … and I want, paradoxically, to be content. Riveting poem!
