Knowing That All Things Must End


A poem written last year...



Knowing That All Things Must End      



Throat laid bare with upturned chin,

vulnerable, exposed, breath in--

Dare to open once again.




Every joining, holding fast,

this present joy, too soon the past--

Cleaving to what cannot last.




Linger, savor, tarry, stay?

inexorable, the end of day--

Solstice moment, parting way.




Return to one must come in time;

unclasped, glance back, let loose of  “mine” --

Silence, and the taste of brine.
