The Beginning Of The End
I saw the end
in the beginning
at the beginning
of the end
I wrote the final chapter
before the preface
with nothing left
to send
I walked a thousand miles
before sitting down
then walked a thousand miles
again
To reach the end of
the beginning
the beginning of
the end
(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2015)
