Destroyer II

Unafraid
i stripped away
the flesh that clothed circumstance,
and the rhyme that held my world in check,
curiously began to lose its place

(i had become I)

and pulling you into my arms
i held you there
a flower
had you become

and those who claimed
that this would somehow
be strange
drifted away
having curtained the coma,
a sentimental veil that protected us
from the blinding, burning light of judgment,
the usual light of day

and folding into the boiling bubbling sky,
that is nighttime in this rural town,
i remember to remind myself that
i will always seek to break everyone
except for you.
