next in black ink

i was relieved to have
the last
tattoo lasered off my back.
i'm done
with that.
all that ink wasted.
all that art,
hearts and arrows,
cupid's bow.
those poetic words
beside the names.
the dates of when
it all began.
but no more, i'm forever
a clean slate.
just one word
has replaced them all
with next in black 
ink, small print,
lower case.
