It was just one task to
recover the taken-for-granted.
There were others. Such as: simply
recover.
And
then? And then consider
there's no time off for good
behavior,
that the city was a carnival
of incandescent streets
but also a dim labyrinth, that the beloved
bridge
connecting two wonders of
solid ground
provided as well a jumping-off point
for those who had lost
heart.
That some roads, no matter how far
they take you, will double
back.
And then? And then consult the window
for weather. Put on
some clothes
and good intentions. Begin again.
