"This is one of the things I wasn't prepared for — the amount of unfilled time, the long parentheses of nothing" (Margaret Atwood).

What would it mean to you if you could be
with her there, dangling your own hands in the water
where blue and silver fish dart away over stone,

She feels she is somewhere else, intensely, simply
because
of words; sings loudly in nonsense, smiling, smiling.
- River, Carol Ann Duffy
