This Is Think I Know Poem by RIC BASTASA

that when you are holding
a thread
and you know that the end of the thread is this..

then you don't mind giving up everything
whatever that was hidden
a hundred fathoms down
whatever was unsaid because you have been muted

at the end of the last dot
you don't mind who listens at you
a priest or a prostitute
a snail or a snake

you tell them all
you let go what winged creature stays in the nest of your hair
and then
you smile

close your eyes
totally
embrace the darkness and expect
the meeting of another light
