7.Return
Now its years since your body went flat and even memories of
that
are all think and dull, all gravel and glass. But who needs them
now -- displaced they're easily more safe --
the worst of it now:I can't remember your face.
Return.
For a while, with the vertigo cured, we were alive -- we were
pure.
The void took the shape of all that you were, but years take
their toll,
and things get bent into shape...
Antiseptic and tired, I can't remember your face.
Return.
You were supposed to grow old. Reckless, unfrightened, and old,
you were supposed to grow old.
Return. You were supposed to return.
