and past and past and passed
begin again
begin again
begin again begin

with the keeper of sunsets
hold my breath
flecks of glittered golden rays sprout from the shadows
and I am more than a silhouette

everyone reflected in sky
am I
everything real pretending to pretend

thread through crowds dancing
dances with strangers
leading and listening

listen to the fragments
fragmented
we are all bound together

here

creating ourselves
with hands of this city
of creators make believing
I begin again

not imitating life
imitating art

pause for breath
to exhale fear

begin again with no one
again and again and again
no one begins again

I begin
to grow again
begin to breathe again
begin with distance and proceed
I am again and again
beginning
