Description
here is the beginning
here is the crying
here is the leaving

here is not the end
there is not the end either
the end is hidden
between the door and the slamming
the light and the shadow
the smoke and the cough
the tears and the crack in his words

here is the beginning
laughter, open doors, light
beginnings only last long enough
for everyone to notice
something is happening

here is the beginning
growing into something
bigger than itself

and it is hiding
partly from the shadow
partly from the crying
but mostly from the leaving

it does not want to go
it likes it here
here is not the end
the end is hidden
and the beginning is hiding

if the beginning could talk
it would probably be crying
if the end could talk
it would be begging

please don't look
please don't look
keep going, eyes straight
please don't look

here is the beginning
here is the break
here is the crying
here is the leaving

we don't talk about the in-between
