No story starts on a fresh page. "Once upon a time" is just a next step. And it will happen many times, before and again.
endings
why things end
beneath a surface-
thoughts flow
and erode
from below and
you won’t know
the danger
you are in
until
a moment
just before
changes,
just before
the cracks,
just before
the fall through,
just before
the gasp.
how things end
dust motes
that dance in light
vibrations and waves
just degrees from
landing, collecting,
then stay aloft-
hoping they
might
become something
more than air-
a cool
downward breeze
encourages,
a density forms,
motion stalls,
molecules still,
declare existence,
and demand
to be seen.
mosaic
a piece from here
a piece from there
not random really
all are from somewhere.
and its good to be aware
that for some a good finish
only comes after a great distance
from the start.
but those worth concern
know that an end is easy to earn
as long as you accept
that all of your pieces,
separate or together,
are still
art.
