In the beginning,
the old beginning.

the first ship sailed.

Then, a next beginning,
a new ship,
same captain and crew.

A destination without rival
unraveled. No arrival.

Other ships have sailed.
fresh starts followed by decay.

Again,
we begin the next beginning,
new ship, same captain and crew.

How new will it be,
this newest next beginning?

The recurrence

of

bygone

beginnings?
