What if I took a step grasped your hand walked to the edge felt the wind fling us out into the abyss? What if you held on tight walked beside me clutched the air gathered between us breathed my breath held your own? What if we embraced the fear set it free to wander the night where it came from? Could we start over from there? We live in separate worlds together...
The last two lines thrust me into those moments where I look around and see people nailed to their digital quarantines, lost to the allure of a display while a whole human universe sits only across/next to them, awaiting the invitation to open themselves up to a world of infinite possibilities.

What an interesting take on those lines. I hadn’t thought of it that way, but you’re right.
I especially like these lines, Carrie:
"What if we
embraced the fear
set it free
to wander the night
where it came from?"
Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for reading, Neil.
