recover - Blackout Poetry Notes

My Plot

He seemed real
but I won't leave in the middle of
my plot
and recover after
he walked out.

We must decide
every minute is valuable.
Acknowledge the good,
yet rest to recover from the emotion
of the past.

Under this roof, you'll
look back and think
the long confinement produced much despondency,
but the sick were strong enough
to recover.
