FINALITY

Finality

Preface - Did she lose her love?

Or did she love her loss?

Finality

They are final –

Those in whose impressions we draw the figures of our lives,

Broken, damaged, seared as they are

Consistent in form, discrepant in character –

Their finality rests in our loss of them,

Their loss breeds love,

For none that retained, loved

For none that lost stopped loving.
