Contained

[rayheinrich]

Thanks Ray. Of course, I wasn't looking for a concession here. Your poetic instincts are always bang on, so if/when they conflict with mine I cannot make sense of the world (too pretentious) I get concerned. Even if it was just a first blurt, it is still something to think about. Endings are important and tricky. 

if I cannot affect the end
where should I begin?

I really don't know.
Endings (death) can certainly be feared... or a relief; I guess it depends on how much you've suffered.
