Timeline

 
Timelines experience open wounds.
Where do we come from? Fluid teeming
To make anew, a valley that returns to its
Secret, names strange with familiarity.
When did we learn? As time changed into
Something more comfortable, as desire reflected
On the morning after, as words clicked with a clique.
Whence came hope? From the end
Of all hope, from the unknown like a song,
From waiting out the hurt and anger.
What is our end? Some practicality
Perfectly normal, a body release we must obey,
The most we can know since first we began
Listing the young busy novel questions 1964.
