Back to school after Copacabana
There’s a new light
Shapes shift, soften
Character sharpens.
New attractions, new attractors.
New distractions.
But …
Introversion making the desirable as unreachable
As a watery mirage.
An unrelenting cycle
Accelerated by
A shy boy feigning worldliness.
In silent times and solitude
I’m wishing and hoping.
