How can we begin again?

CIRCUS TENT
 
The clown, the juggler and
the ringmaster,
are taking down the Circus tent
in the big field.
 
All of the pieces are laid out,
like the contents
of flat pack furniture,
on the grass.
 
By mid-morning everyone has gone.
All that is left are
impressions on the grass.
Signs of a magic once here.
 
It’s the planned dismantling
of what we are, in a way
that enables us to begin again,
in another field.
