only as you prepare to depart

do you look back at the road you've traveled

and all you were given to know

locks into place piece by piece

the puzzle if not entirely solved

(you never fill in the blank spaces

of what you didn't know

at least not here)

then with enough of the picture revealed

to send you whirling with vertigo

on your way dizzy with awe and bemusement

amazed in recall even more strongly

then when you lived it as you will continue to do

all of it in you all of it you
