1. Beginnings

Beginnings bring with them a challenge, friend:

I wonder always if each odyssey

Will end with home and sweet Penelope

Or if disaster is to be my end.

Will these, my words, fortuitously bend

And circumvent each maelstrom on the sea

Or are the crags of some catastrophe

The ports to which my poetasting tend?

To me some comfort comes from worlds afar:

“Each instance is some ending’s genesis

“And endings always leave behind a spark

“In which a billion new beginnings are

“Aflame with radiant new impetus.

“For terra supernova, now, embark!”
