Nine Endings

How small can the units get
And still show some coherence?
Do last lines really shape ends?

No, they go on forever.
Afterwards, you can go where
You want, it will be other-

Wise. This is it. Take it or
Leave it, Love. I give you this
Sun. What will survive of us

Is love, stronger than forgive-
Ness. It has never been used.
Keep it safe, pass it on. From

The rose and the easy cheek,
Deliver me, pass me on.
