There is a pause in the story.
In the brighter lights, the moving
and talking in between,
there may be speculation
of next plot twists, of characters,
performances

We will go back in,
we will go down under
to be swept along by the spell
but for now
we will stretch our legs
and take in the crisp fall air
and remember
that whatever happens in the story,
we’ll come out here.
