where to from now —
again yet again
the question pulls us
laughing into the rain
where to from now —
without past’s consequence
to nag and howl a nerve
into a fractured attempt
guiltless and free
where to from now —
as if life’s plot
can be platted to a page
each contour surveyed
for a coroner’s etched eye
where to from now — perhaps —
just not here — just not now —
