(i wrote this to the sound of cities burning)

and it is
a choice i made
but a choice i feel
sounding my depths
in all of time;
(no one has ever looked better)
and you
you are the entirety of my need
the riptide pulling me together

every instant that passes takes me, just a fraction
just a fraction of time closer to
that stable place;that stable face (intricate & without blemish)

call it my stable race,
                       the stability chase ended all but a heartbeat ago

so i stop shaking
and my quivering ends
in the quiver *(fills for me
to shoot this world full of ballistics)

though i must confess a
preference for

melee
combat - as a

general
rule
focussed eyes
with broken feet
now walking free
amidst this deep
and brand new truth
you become a
warm plan
to me and i
become stable
