Life continues until death.
Once united, sperm and egg cease to exist.
Two distinct life-forms—erased.
Identities blended
into a single unique being,
a person who did not exist before
and will never exist again.
As with all beginnings,
life is defined by its ending.
We are alive
therefore incomplete.
