Non-parallel (part two)

 

…our lives

like the rings we never wore

unfolded

as a mobius unraveled

beginnings - endings

beginnings again…

 

The first now indistinguishable from the

last.

As my love now seems

unraveled

I know

when it began, ended,

began again.

 

…for me it's clear you

were my first, last, most

recent

future

only one

for

only one

can wrap itself so tightly

in a ring

around my

heart

and twist

itself into such a beautiful

beginningless

endless

circle.

 

…for John
