The wind catches us
crossing street to the bookstore
pages to flip through
These months have been years
in the unmaking at last
a mask on the path
Beginnings will start
to project the end again
each day a new one
The names are the same
the places changed to protect
the lack of a plot
What if things go right
no longer a question for
potential this year
Now we have to wait
and work to make things better
starting there and here
