I stand here in the middle of my path.
Behind me is a crater, deeper than the Marianas trench.
That's not the geography I remember. I remember mounts higher than Everest.
I don't even remember the climb, just the high points.
The bomb hit and destroyed everything
I turn around and run towards
I try to find my footsteps from before but they aren't there.
I jump down into the trench looking for them but still nothing.
I climb up the other side and finally find my steps. They are too far back.
I'm starting over from the beginning but this time it's harder.
I'm trying to catch up to her as she walks away.
I'm building bridges and jumping rock to rock trying to get to her.
I hear a plane overhead.
Maybe it's come to pick me up and deliver me to her.
It just drops another bomb.
Once I crawl out of the rubble she is gone.
And I'm not catching up.
