Interlude

I haven't seen you in a long while
We've changed
It's... different now
(Changed how?)

When the urgency took hold
Our worlds became smaller
Shrinking
As the ground
Shifted
Beneath our feet

Spending each day calculating
And re-calculating
Chances of survival
When you wake up in a different reality
Of course you change

I abandoned all that wouldn't keep me alive
Then realised I could only live like that for so long
Of course I'm a new person

Since we last spoke
You and I have aged
A generation
We return to landmarks that have become memories
How do we carry on after such a rupture?

To think of this time as a cycle repeating would be wrong
It overlooks the freshly buried
Front-line heroes, martyred for capital
So here we are
Through no fault of our own
Standing on yet more bones
Beneath the rubble
Of the places we loved

Our renaissance can be different
Everything has changed
(Changed how?)

We are here again
Together
You've shed your old skin
But I still know your face
I hope you can recognize mine
