everyone wants a fresh start-
we just don’t expect having to go through the
pain of the end in order to reach
a brand new beginning.
beginnings
making the bed
you tug and measure
and approximate calculations
to get the stretchy part of the sheet
to fit over the mattress
just right.
the rest is easy.
automatic, even.
the hardest part
is always the start.
mélange
there have been so many endings.
even in my beginnings I find them
there-
hidden behind the meaning of his
still unsaid
words.
