Persons

I could go on,
but first, I would have to begin.
But then, I would have to end.

He, having begun,
must go on.
To His end.

You have begun:
but must you go on,
or end, now, abruptly?

No. Do not leave.
You and I have just met
through the infinite difference
of eternal repetition.

I am He’s orphan.
I belong to no one
but you;
to They who have become
You.

Do not worry about my sex.
I am the result of what He
has made me –
Neuter.

Only you can leave,
I cannot.
Leave me now
To another
To disappear
