ended to begin

there are no bells and whistles
no sirens or flashing lights

not even a stuffed animal

it’s finished without a way to begin
all you can say is, it’s done

maybe someday someone will see

an empty theater with a few paying guests
i’d be there, smiling, crying, waiting

what would they say

would you think about it after you watched it
wonder why it ended that way

where
is
the
redemption

they always ask
it’s hard to find, i would say

hard to see if you don’t look
hands over eyes, slits between fingers

where’s the hope. the truth.
it’s in progress, i would say

on it’s way from you to me
if only you could show me the way.
