One Ending and Another Beginning
Loose, tattered end
are all that’s left
of my great rope.
Long, frayed pieces
hang down past
my frail fingers
that touch the
near destruction
of my life.
Fixing the broken
strands only
unbraid it more,
creating more
of the same
fractured mess.
Through the disaster,
I’ll take the ends,
and make something new.
