origin

Like a comma, your hand curled in mine as we descended into an ancient/new reality.
Our feet, awkward with joy, strolled between the unfazed columns of Hades. 
Each sunlight-seeking step tilted us just so,
a few scant degrees at a time, 
till upon exit we strode in synchrony.
How did we begin? they ask —
how does anyone?
A chance flits by, carried upon an unseen current.
We catch its threads and pull.
