- stand with your lover on the ending earth -
- you can hear it in the drums of his heartbeat,
- you can see it in the steel of her smile
- (in the sparkling of the knife blades of her teeth
- and the exuberant terror of
- the far-off look in their eyes)
- stand with your lover on the shores of the tsunami sea -
- you can tell she loves the roughly whispering waves
- you can see he has always been
- a creature of the saltwater swells
- (of the upsetting, overflowing ferocity, the emotion
- that stings in the eyes and stains at the skin)
- stand with your lover at the very doors of death -
- you can feel her hand tremble as it reaches out
- you can see him grasp for the
- doorknob in spite of the tremors
- (reach out and cover that hand you must hold, guide
- the turn of it, and when they step through,
- follow and smile)
- stand with your lover at the end of all things -
- you know they were made for her once,
- you know it will be made by him yet again,
- (and for you, and by you, and you will stand
- with your lover in the coming inferno,
- and as the ashes)
- stand with your lover on the beginning earth -
- you know you can make ink from her ashes,
- you know you can make paper from his bones,
- (from their memory and from yours,
- from all the others who are gone but not lost,
- and you can rewrite it all:):
- and in the beginning, the lord spake, and he said:
- "let there be something new;
- i've grown tired of the light."
