Beginnings and Endings
For the “One of Us” Unofficial Poetry Challenge devised by Kayleigh Fraser
If tomorrow starts without me
I am happily elsewhere
Where life is static in reverie
And I can venture where I dare
.
Should a fortnight pass without me
What have I left behind?
Nothing but me and my daring latchkey
As you distance yourself in kind
.
If the New Year should start without me
The calendar departs relieved
To render me an amputee
Of the time that was ill-conceived
.
If the world should end without me
I will stay in my orbit still
I'll rebuke the enslaving gravity
That imprisoned me uphill
.
If God were to continue without me
Rethinking my disposition
Solipsism is anonymity
And Hell grants me my admission
