Life Lessons: A List [1]

A list poem, part 1

End of the month,
Start of the tears.

End of the blood:
Start of a life.
End of the freedom,
Start of the nest,
End of the parties.
Start of the tests.

End of the money,
Start of the month.

End of the wait—
Start of the cries,

End of the day,
Start of the night.

End of the goodtimes,
Start of the lullabies:
End of an era.
Start of a life.
