Crossed Wires

I know I can survive anything

I know I will die.

There is an immense comfort that I take in this –

That suffering and struggle are inevitable

that death and end times betide.

No matter how I am suffering now

if I can feel this pain

I know I am living.

My body heralds endings.

Nerves try in vain to spark a new connection

before

fizzling

out.

What tech support do I call

for these crossed wires?
