How/Now It Begins
Jerry Landry

I.
When does it stop meaning
anything
when nothing ever meant
anything
in the first place?

II.
With a crash it begins
they say
with a bang it starts
they say
but I say
I don't know
I don't remember
how it begin
so I say
all I remember
is a general beginning
that meant nothing
and it will end that way
if an end can be called
an end
anyway

III.
There was a bang
a crack
a boom
a signal
a sign
that it was special
when I met him
he was my beginning
he will be my end
and he is everything in between
so I say
everything

IV.
I look at his face until
it all starts melting together
all the cells crashing
crushing
blending
into a huge indistinguishable pile
of what?
of beauty
of love
of truth
of me
"Until you are me
and I am you"
