And when the contagion curve goes down
and governments announce that ‘we have done it’
please please
do not return to immortality
don’t put on the invincible suit again
of unbreakable
of insufferable
do not forget what you have felt
please please
be vulnerable forever
Keep singing on the balconies
Keep applauding the cleaning ladies
to the cashiers, to your mothers
do not forget that you are only human
that you are fragile
that you are finite
and take care of life, the planet
and to all the beings of the world
until the day of your death
as if you learned something.

A tender, gentle nudge to live as if we’ve learned something. Let it be.
May we walk from here with humility.
