All the Beginnings of Everything

All the
Beginnings
of
Everything


All the Beginnings of Everything by Kindra M. Austin




I want to be the light at the very beginning,
when shadows steal away,
but still
remain in waiting.

I want to be the
dawn
of
man,
beneath the sun,
and
in the sand.

I want to be the
first taste of
blood,
first fire,
first ice-age,
and the
first
flood.

I want to be
Mother
of lunar eclipse,
of black holes
and comets.

End
of words
freed
from your lips.

Last kiss.

Final breath.

I want to be the dark at the very beginning,
when lights fade away,
but still
remain in waiting.

I want to be

All the
beginnings
of
everything.
