I always forget that going from the titled school year chapters to the war dated chapters is just as jarring and chilling when the titles go from the war chapters to armistice just the years
anyways it's finally time to listen to "meet me in the woods" and "out of the woods" spoiler alert: they don't make it out of the woods, they never make it out of the woods

Going There
"Of course it was a disaster.
That unbearable, dearest secret
has always been a disaster.
The danger when we try to leave.
Going over and over afterward
what we should have done
instead of what we did.
But for those short times
we seemed to be alive. Misled,
misused, lied to and cheated,
certainly. Still, for that
little while, we visited
our possible life."

"What I take for granted bears a name
To be forgotten soon, as the things I know
Turn into unfamiliar faces
In a strange room, leaving merely
A blank space, like a hole left in the wake
Of a perfect life, which closes over."
