In the Beginning and the End


a woman
was at the beginning of this story,

whether
referring to my
mother giving me life

or Eve in the garden
dancing with a snake

or the
girl who
made me want to
write poems for her,

or the first girl to make me feel loved,
which she sometimes did.

there is much to say,
so very much to say,
and not much time on
this rock to say it.

But I tell you this
at the end,
at the very end of this story
there will also be a woman

either cutting the rope to let me down,
or collecting the insurance money
but
they will be there one way or
another.
