Tenderly returning to the scene
of an event turned upside down by catastrophe.
Gingerly walking through the wayward chairs
abandoned with haste.
Walking over broken glass
and spilled drinks.
Seeing food meant to impress and delight
shriveled in waste.
Decorations for a joyous occasion
now torn and crumbling.
Memories of a joy anticipated,
turned into an anxiety realized.
