End of the World

If the world were about to end
and I could be with one woman
for that final eve,

I’d spend those hours
with the woman I abandoned
in wild days of my youth,

when everything tasted like Saturday night
and I hadn’t yet learned that
love is more important than lust.

I’d come to her after all these years,
kiss her crows feet and age spots,
bend an ear to her lips,

hoping she’d whisper forgiveness,
so I could close my eyes
and greet forever with a smile.
