There at the
start, then hair,
ears, air. I saw
sound,
the slight white beat
and retreat
projected overhead.
That star theater.
The doctor said,
Those beautiful chambers.
You stirred, you
blinked. Cried. There
you were.
Here you are.
There are threats.
There is death
and flood and ash.
There is this heart.
As you start, I start.
