You are
the last symbol
of a life unrealized,
of a life fraught on all sides
by potential that
would never be converted from
static to kinetic.
You, unknowingly,
are the last in a long line
of failures
that bloomed before their season,
the final honoring
of a perdurable tradition
that ends only with this life,
its proving ground.
But I believe that
things left unresolved
cannot end,
that questions without answers
will one day receive their complements;
and so I believe that this
personal inscrutability with which
I have been burdened
cannot remain as such,
and that something after
—the soul, a universal reckoning,
what have you—will be
answered, will finally be
satisfied. This is
what I must believe in
these final moments.
And so this is
not an ending,
nor even close to
one.
"fraught on all sides
by potential that
would never be converted from
static to kinetic."
That's my favorite part. It makes I a failed alchemist.
