How Love Shall End? Poem by RIC BASTASA

How Love Shall End?



at this age, who shall ask about how love
began? if it came in my mind, it is not because i conceive it,
it came by pure
accident, someone mentions a very good beginning,
tight lips, vine-like embraces,
sweat all over the bodies
in a room with no window open.

i am so guilty about what i entertain as a prolonged thought
like a scheme of things
how a glass is crushed against a rock in slow motion
classified as art,
how the tiny pieces gleam against the sound of crashing
eyes screaming and
hands still hiding inside the pockets
of the abdomen
like a kangaroo taking away all its bag of thoughts away
in safe haven,

i am trying to spell departure, planning to have an exit
that graceful one
without any shame at all

i am wondering if this matter could still be put under the domain
of words or on the category of
motion.
