parting
(a game plan)

Break it down

into
steps

breathe
see
salvage
what is untouched
and portable
leave the rest
for monument

compose the requiem
in transit
envision
the retrospective
matted, framed
opening to lukewarm
reviews

breathe      see
recollect
the splendid density
of us
before we
shrivelled
to disenchanted
silhouettes
