February 30th

...finishing where we began
tears in my coffee, smoke in my eyes
milk in the ashtray -
and all over the place - shit.
no point crying over it.
windswept.
cold.
hollow.
blue.
finishing where we began.
the end of me and you.
beginning with the finish
our fingers nearly touch
when you hesitate to pull away
just
.........in
.................time
(no tears yet)
I chew on my lip and you chew on your gum.
windswept -
cold -
hollow -
you
begin with the finish
then watch what I do
a finish without end
(here we go again)
this time it's for real
I. Mean. It. It's done.
but love's on your lips
a kiss in your heart
you smile as we part.
windswept,
cold,
hollow,
through?
an end without finish
unbelievably true.
a begin with no start
we try and we fail
we fail though to try
and so-
what to do?
windswept?
cold?
hollow?
the one thing I know is
the date this will stop
- this startless begin -
when I won't love you...
