Where I'm from

I'm from the land where you began

I'm from the land where you will end

Together we share the human bond that lies beneath the skin

The bond of hatred and tragedy

Nontheatrical and abrupt

The kind that makes for tele news and puts the electric fences up

I'm from the land where you began

the land of  dreams as fragile as seeds

From a land where mountains flow and rivers tower over us all, begging us to climb them

I'm from the land of the inverted exclamation mark that describes all self

the land of inverted ironies where truth is written by liars

and practised by fools

I'm from the land where you end

The land of falling promises

the land where salvation swan dives from the highest top

this is the land of all endings

and I'm from the deepest part of end

the deepest part of horror where I tend the bodies of broken

promises

I'm from where you start

I'm from where you end
