Hello/Goodbye
If you had known
before you signed the book-
agreeing to this mortal life-
that you would know
first hand
first heart
what it would be
to rise up out of yourself in ecstacy-
to fold down into yourself in grief-
that you would hand your heart to someone
who would later, hand it back
scarred, with missing pieces-
the only evidence of an entwined life that would,
forever
define love for you…
If you had known
that those two-syllable words
would start your world
and stop it
in the seconds it would take to say them-
would you have said hello
knowing that goodbye was destined?
