Anticipation

from Out With Lanterns, a daily poetry practice

Lately, I am easily in tears.
Yesterday it was in the car 
hearing Carly Simon’s lyric,
These are the good old days.
There’s fear of what’s ending, 
but of course each ending 
is also a beginning. 
Even death. Who knows 
what journey we’ll begin
after our bodies give out. 
Still, I cry at any hint of 
emotion, raw outside and in.
