A Writing Saga

To write anything when
there is no beginning
obvious to my fingers

with the middle hovering 
patiently in the background
crowded with details and characters

before the ending gathers
all the wandering fragments
to tie them up with a ruffled bow of

Perfection!
Or 
That ending leaves me cold.
Or 
I wonder what happened to the characters….

“The beginning is the word and the end is silence. 
And in between are all the stories.”
~ Kate Atkinson
