Episode 2: Held
I.
The screen fills with a calm face
the therapist framed in soft light
while the past waits off-camera
II.
We speak of storms and seasons
of lawyers guarding thresholds
of editors straightening wings
III.
Outside the window a new day
assembles its small orchestra
and I learn the word for help
