Notes for a Meeting
Aug 9, 2017 · 3 min read


Our ends, through war, disease or accident;
when in our prime or old or as a child;
in pain or peace, suddenly or forewarned,
are generally not at our command.
Instead you are a law unto yourself,
visiting as you please. Last night I heard
you stumble to my door, then veer away
to knock elsewhere for no apparent reason.
