Winnipeg retreats 1

The roads are much more drivable here
said the plugs and cars that line your eyes

From fourth floors that feel like
the three and five zig-zagged escapes
climbing upwards during the fire

¿What does it mean to forget?
¿What does it mean to remember?

Diamonds are made from the light
guarded by trees
that have grown relatively
little in all this time

They should be more majestic.

¿Have you lost your courage?

You seemed like you had always
but now you were different
you were new and nothing else
had changed but movement forward
and you and your potential all
the way lined by steel and your eyes
