Afterword

Afterword

Marking Time

betwixt and between
be and ing
continuous
fits and starts
we begin and end
with a provisional
transitional
beginning and ending

never a definite article
a the beginning
a the end
consistently
flowing again
remembering anticipating
are ing and tomorrow ing
our each is ing

wilderness at core
tempts and restores
within each boundary
contemptuous
unsettling every settled
feeding off certainty
to retreat deeper
until urgency pauses

a living heart
pushing onward
repenting again
compassionate
with wounds near and dear
and Johnny AppleEater far
betwixt and between
