12 of 30: "On Last Lines" by Suzanne Buffam

I had to share another standalone Buffam poem from her brilliant collection The Irrationalist. I absolutely adore this poem, "On Last Lines" by Suzanne Buffam:

The last line should strike like a lover's complaint.
You should never see it coming.
And you should never hear the end of it.
