New Year’s Eve, I will kiss her at midnight
lips in transition – a reckoning
at the passing between two worlds
and so two times I will kiss her
though I’d be happy with any Wednesday
in May just as well.

When whoever I am shall die,
the need for persistence to be
ceases, without desire to resurrect,
then I can be certain to understand
the love that exists without me.
I am without pain in ceaseless abandon
to the current, regretting when I miss me.
So much joy at the tipping point of sorrow,
my action is my will for us to be timeless.
