I had to go there, to
see it for myself, to go there
to test the theory of
an accident, a mistake
minutes, hours that
changed history
while our eyes were on
another Sea
Tranquility Base, the Moon.
Miles and miles away
from the slip of
land,
width of a bridge
dark channel
sunken car
death
sin
Yes,
It is a place
not easy to reach
a turn against the
course
of the road, the
fall-line of the hill
A mistake too hard to
fathom, to believe
Haunting the hopes of
a family, a dynasty
the fallen son, the
martyred one, and the Broken One
