Expand this compressed poem fragment into a fuller work.

Fragment:
{{fragment}}

Expansion goal: {{goal}}

Expansion strategies:

1. **Before and after:** What happened before this moment? After?
2. **Zoom in:** What details are implied but not stated?
3. **Sensory enrichment:** What senses are underdeveloped?
4. **Emotional unpacking:** What feelings need more space?
5. **Structural expansion:** More stanzas, sections, movements
6. **Voice development:** Let the speaker reveal more

Draft the expanded version:
- Maintain the compression of the original where it works
- Expand only where more space earns its place
- Preserve the core energy and impulse

Compare compression and expansion - what does each serve?
