in the beginning
everything was sweet like the tea you sipped.
it was sweet like that little Lhasa puppy we brought home.
in the beginning
everything was forever like the car rides to new boston.
it was forever like supper on an empty tummy.
in the end
everything is dark like that day you left.
it is dark like my chest.
in the end
nothing is certain.
nothing is how it was
in the beginning.

for my grandmother.
someday I'll be next to you, helping you in your garden again.
