Serendipitous Regression

we don't know what to say,
but we want to say something.
something about (cryptamnesiac) discovery
something about something forgotten.
it doesn't really matter though,
what was lost or found-
just that one left another behind
or is doing so (as we speak)
one now immobile:
beside the road
beside the path running forth and back,
around this maze.
THAT one was too fragile,
the walk too long.
and so, all sighs and fears and self-hate
can be left far behind.
dissipating only as fast as I keep moving
as fast as I choose to go:
down this road
down this path running forth and back,
through this maze.
