Afterward
A Poem For Something Soon
Be not afraid Who are you? What is this? Why am I here? You do not know why? I don’t Do you want to? I do What do you know now? Only that I’m here Then you know enough I don’t understand What must I do? Nothing to do What was the point? Being there, being here Stop talking in riddles Did any of it matter? Is that what you are afraid of? It’s what I’m terrified of Forget that You had it And that is all there is In the end Please, just tell me Did I do enough? Was it enough? Was I enough? Enough questions Enough thinking Be still Be here now
