"Worry not" promises a return not as recovered dream but as blueprint, reducing ego to a design principle rather than a fantasy.

The intersecting lines give the page a spare, architectural confidence after the more fevered motions of the preceding poems. What returns is "necessarily" not what was hoped for, which keeps the poem from offering comfort too cheaply. The closing statement about ego is calm and corrective, as if illusion has finally been traded for plan.

Worry not, it will come back as a blueprint with intersecting lines. Necessarily not the dream one expected. But then again ego is not a dream.
